1. Labor unions bet big on winners, losers in recent primaries
Last week’s primaries saw more than a half-dozen Democratic incumbents unseated.
It was a mixed-night for organized labor, which endorsed some insurgent candidates but also was on the losing side of some major races.
When candidates want to show they’ve got so-called street cred, they’ll point to the company they keep: political parties, powerful elected officials and labor unions.
2. New York AG lauds Supreme Court’s mail-in ballot ruling
Following the Supreme Court’s Monday morning ruling upholding a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day and received within five business days to be counted, New York Attorney General Letitia James says those voting by mail on time shouldn’t fear their vote not being counted.
James released a statement shortly after the court’s 5-4 ruling, which stemmed from a challenge brought by the Republican National Committee. The ruling also comes days after a federal judge halted President Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to create a federal voter list and limit who can receive a mail ballot, based in part on a lawsuit filed by Democratic attorneys general — James included — representing 22 states and the District of Columbia.
3. Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs commissioner talks SCOTUS ending TPS
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to give the federal government the power to end temporary legal protections for Haitian and Syrian migrants — marking a win for President Donald Trump.
Soon after the ruling, Mayor Zohran Mamdani put out a statement pledging support for those affected in the city, stating: “We will not turn our backs on you.”
Faiza Ali, the commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” yesterday to discuss more.
