Chris Murphy: If Democrats Spent as Much Time Talking About the Cost of Living as Mamdani Did, We’d Win a Lot More Elections

EXCERPT:

MURPHY: “Well, to an extent. I mean, listen, there are certain things that he stands for and says that I don’t agree with. But I think you have to pay attention to the fact that you had a candidate in New York City that was talking every single day about the cost of living, and he was proposing really big, sometimes radical ideas to take power from folks who have way too much of it, like the big realty companies that are jacking up rents in New York City, and transferring it to regular people. He did have a laser-like focus on cost of living, on shifting power to people who don’t have enough of it. And I think if the Democratic Party writ large spent as much time or as big a percentage of our communications’ time talking about the cost of living as Mamdani did in New York, we’d probably win a lot more elections.”
