DANA PERINO (ANCHOR): Last night while we were sitting there I'm thinking, wait, where have I heard this before? You go back to 2012 and President Obama's team put out The Life of Julia, okay, this was about a single woman and how the government, starting at age 22, the government can help you all the way through your life. Look at this, from age 22 to age 31, all the way to age 67. Now, I'm not saying that government shouldn't be a safety net for people, it absolutely should. But what we saw last night across the board is that young American women are very much far-left and they are buying into all of that. But they have been since — some of them — since they were young — little girls.
MARTHA MACCALLUM (FOX NEWS ANCHOR): I find that very frightening. We were raised in a generation of you can do anything. You can achieve whatever you want to. You can carve your way in the world. You can be the person who puts food on the table. All of these things, right? And this message is so alien to that. And think about it — the working — Cuomo did best with working-class Americans. I don't think he was ever going to win this race, you know with last night as hindsight. I think that his attempt to make a comeback after the difficulties he encountered on harassment and Covid were too deep. He was too unlikeable to embrace again for New Yorkers, but it was the college kids who voted for Mamdani, who came out in force. Not working-class — brand-new immigrants to the country.
