Brad Lander says Democratic divide is not 'progressives vs. moderates' but 'fighters vs. folders'

Published | Video Starts at 02:48

So there's been plenty of times when I have supported more moderate candidates. I want the same in the other direction. You know, Part of why Representative Goldman lost is that he didn't support Zahran Mamdani when he was the Democratic nominee for mayor in the general election. There are candidates like Randy Villegas out in California who are progressive Democrats running against Republicans. And I hope moderates will show up for them as well. (02:48–02:57)
