NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani takes to Twitch to chat with New Yorkers

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is launching a recurring Twitch livestream series called "Talk with the People" where he will answer questions from viewers in real time, making him the host of the country's first recurring cross-platform stream by an elected official. The move reflects a broader shift in how younger audiences consume political information through online creators and streamers rather than traditional media, with Mamdani drawing a comparison to FDR's fireside chats as a way to establish direct communication with New Yorkers, especially younger generations.
