POLITICO's Jonathan Martin meets New York Assemblyman Micah Lasher at Barney Greengrass, the Upper West Side institution known for smoked fish, bagels and latkes. They talk about why Barney Greengrass is an appetizing store, not a deli, how New York’s immigrant story has shaped its food and politics, and what Lasher hopes to work on in Congress, from health care and technology to the future of the economy. He also shares which potential 2028 Democratic contenders he’s watching. ----------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgjtvMmHXbutALaw9XzRkAg?view_as=subscriber Check out our video catalog: https://www.politico.com/video Follow POLITICO here: ➤ X: https://x.com/politico/ ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/politico/ ➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/politico/
