Today’s Morning Jolt discusses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s past status, and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s current status, as the Next Big Thing™ in the Democratic Party.

Chestnut brown and so finely trimmed, mellifluous, smooth, and feathery, it could almost be a weave, the Platonic ideal as imagined by the Hair Club for Men.”)
