CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to the Thursday taping of The Late Show for a three-segment-long interview that included an attempt to push New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on the rest of the country by reducing his radical leftism to mere concerns about affordability.
Ever the New Yorker, Colbert had an analogy, “You campaigned for Mayor-elect Mamdani, and while New York has its own issues and concerns, and New York doesn't necessarily vote the way the rest of the country votes, his message of affordability his message of the rights and dignity of working people, I think, is a very powerful one that, you know, it may open in New York, but like a Broadway show, it's going to play very well in the national tour.”
He also added, “Some people say this is only for New York. I disagree, I think he's identified something that, yes, is in New York with its diverse population, but everyone in America sees something in this for them. On both sides of the aisle, by the way, the complaints are similar.”
