NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Launches Twitch Streaming Series ‘Talk With the People’

The recurring show will let viewers submit questions live as Mamdani expands his direct-to-voter outreach across major social platforms.

  • On Thursday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani launched the recurring livestream series 'Talk with the People' to answer questions from New Yorkers in real time on Twitch.
  • Inspired by 1940s radio broadcasts from New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, Mamdani designed the series to bypass traditional media and connect directly with younger voters on platforms they use daily.
  • The show simulcasts across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and Bluesky, providing a recurring civic communication channel where Mamdani addresses housing, budget challenges and transit issues via Twitch chat.
  • During the premiere, co-host and seasoned streamer Moose asked viewers to 'try to be a little respectful' as the chat featured spam and off-topic questions amid the policy discussion.
  • Mamdani plans appearances on WNYC in early June to reach older voters, though critics question whether Twitch is appropriate for official government communication given the platform's chaotic culture.
