Rich Lowry, Editor-In-Chief of National Review, joins Sid to talk about President Donald Trump's potential involvement in the 2025 New York City mayoral race. They discuss the political risks of candidates publicly aligning with Trump in a heavily Democratic city, suggesting it could backfire despite candidates privately seeking his support. They criticize Mayor Eric Adams’s chances of re-election, calling him politically isolated and ineffective. The discussion also touches on Trump’s influence over the GOP's 2028 presidential race, speculation about possible successors like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Laura Trump, and even Donald Trump Jr. Lowry describes Trump as acting like the "governor of America," brokering big economic deals like the $600B Apple investment. While Lowry isn’t fully "MAGA," he acknowledges Trump’s effectiveness and enduring influence.
