(It’s not a new joke, but it’s a decent joke.)The Republican nominee for president has repeatedly said he believes he and the Democratic mayor are simpatico. Thursday was no different.Read the full story: politico.com/newsletters/new-york-playbook/2024/10/18/adams-is-the-butt-of-al-smith-jokes-00184319----------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel! youtube.com/channel/UCgjtvMmHXbutALaw9XzRkAg?view_as=subscriberCheck out our video catalog: politico.com/video Follow POLITICO here: ➤ X: https://x.com/politico➤ Instagram: instagram.com/politico ➤ Facebook: facebook.com/politico
