They’ve called each other a communist and a fascist but last week President Trump and Zohran Mandani appeared to put on a united front when the new New York Mayor visited the Oval Office. Their supporters may shudder to think about it, but the pair are really not so different. Both defied the establishment and defied the odds with a populist election campaign, turbocharged by social media, which promised to swing a wrecking ball into the failing status quo. Trump and Mamdani do, of course, propose very different treatments for the problems they have diagnosed - but the big picture point remains the same. Experts, pundits and pollsters will always argue that both sides need to move to the centre - but voters are sick of it. Joining Piers Morgan to discuss is host of Gaines for Girls on Outkick!
