Emma Vigeland chats with Tommy Vietor about Sarah Longwell and The Bulwark Emma: Saying something like she would prefer Ted Cruz to Zohran Mamdani. I think it's natural to question if this former Republican is more partial to a Republican. Tommy: I don't think its fair to say she doesn't want Abdul to win. I'm positive she does. Emma: I don't care about her intentions that much. I care what the output is. They're creating it as an issue for El-Sayed and it's manifesting in that way. I think that it's fair to have critique of that. Tommy: I think that's fair.
