Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.
He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.
1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.
Don’t ignore us!

if the Chancellor is going to break her tax pledge, she should do so in a big rather than small way. What she wants to avoid at all costs is finding herself in the same situation in a year or two years time.

From a political point of view, one way to soften the damage caused by breaking their tax pledge is for the government to both increase and reduce some of the big three taxes.

When it comes to breaking their tax pledge, the phrase ‘better late than never’ applies. Better now than in a budget nearer the election, both from a political and economic point of view.
