Summary
Chi Ossé, the youngest member of the New York City Council and a democratic socialist, got the first big reaction. Newsreel founder and CEO Jack Brewster had asked everyone who RSVPed, “What’s the one election question you want answered?” More than 150 answered, and the walls were covered in Post-it notes.
