EXCERPT:
CARLUCCI: "Yeah, look, I think there’s there’s nothing sexy about moderation, and that’s why some of these candidates are very attractive. But this energy on the Democratic side is really about how do we bring that fight to Donald Trump. And as you heard from Mamdani, he's saying, 'Look, we have to meet that excitement,' and it can’t be the same old, same old. So that’s what I think is driving this excitement in the Democratic primaries, but I think, look, in New York City, whoever wins these primaries is definitely gonna win the general election. And the same is for these races around the country. What you see, whether it’s in Maine or in Maryland, the idea is that Democrats want their elected officials doing everything possible because they are so upset, they are so dismayed by the actions of our president, and they want to bring that fight wherever they can, whether it’s through legislation or through the bully pulpit. Democrats are demanding action and just vigor from their candidates."
