The Staten Island Problem - Part 5: Revenge of the Forgotten Borough

In this episode of Revisionist History, Malcolm Gladwell connects the 1993 New York City mayoral election to the 2016 presidential election through the lens of Staten Island and Rudy Giuliani. The 'Staten Island problem' — the borough's unique and often overlooked political character — is examined as a factor in both outcomes. Gladwell explores how the forgotten borough became a bellwether for national shifts.
