A $107 billion handshake, and a Primary Day wrap

There were two big surprises in this week’s primaries. NY1 political reporters Zack Fink, Bobby Cuza and Juan Manuel Benítez provide some much-needed analysis of some of the night’s results.

And following months of negotiations, Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council reached a “handshake agreement” on the city’s budget, one day before a Friday deadline. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team weighs in on the $107 billion deal and how it will affect the city.

Also, congestion pricing is really coming to New York City. The controversial initiative is scheduled to be in the city by April 2024.

And finally, an “Off Topic/On Politics” host says goodbye.
