NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani says that Democrats of his ilk are not running from the party but attempting to return it to where it once was.

The PBD podcast crew host former underwear model, Antonio Sabato, Jr., to partake in a collective meltdown over Abdul El-Sayed.

Senator Tim Scott claims that attack ads ran against Abdul El-Sayed that use his full name are not rooted in islamophobia.
