The Erin Molan Show - A Political EARTHQUAKE in NYC… Can She Pull It Off
Could Manhattan be heading for a political earthquake? Caroline Shinkle, the Republican nominee for Congress in New York’s 12th District, joins Erin Molan to explain why she believes one of America’s bluest political strongholds may be more competitive than people think. Shinkle lays out her case for challenging Democrat Michael Lasher, discusses Zohran Mamdani and the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America in New York politics, and explains why she believes lifelong Democrats and independent voters are looking for an alternative. The conversation also covers capitalism vs. socialism, New York City’s cost-of-living crisis, antisemitism, support for the Jewish community, federal spending, public safety and the enormous perception hurdle facing any Republican running in Manhattan. Can Caroline Shinkle actually pull off a political earthquake in New York City? Tell us what you think in the comments.
