Congress passes massive housing bill while Zohran Mamdani dominates NYC primaries

Original version ·

Affordable housing is suddenly popular in Washington, while progressives in New York just swept their primaries. It’s almost like people actually want a place to live.

In a shocking twist of events, Congress actually did something. They passed the largest housing affordability bill in decades. Yes, the same folks who usually spend their time arguing over committee seating charts have agreed that rent is, in fact, too damn high.

Meanwhile, over in New York City, the progressive wave is flexing. All three candidates backed by Zohran Mamdani absolutely swept their primaries. It turns out promising to make housing affordable is a wild voter-magnet.

Perhaps politicians are finally realizing that voters who can't afford rent are incredibly motivated to vote them out.
