Following the success of its acclaimed podcast documentary, NY1 co-hosted a special live panel honoring the life and enduring impact of congresswoman and feminist trailblazer Bella Abzug. In partnership with Hunter College's Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute, the in-depth conversation explored Abzug's legacy through the voices of those who knew her best and continue her work today.

Moderated by NY1's Errol Louis, the panel featured Abzug's daughter, Liz; the Roosevelt House's director and former Abzug press secretary Harold Holzer; and co-founder of the National Women's Political Caucus Letty Cottin Pogrebin, offering personal reflections, historical insight and a look at Abzug's lasting influence on politics and the fight for equality.

Recorded live on March 19 at Roosevelt House, the historic Manhattan home of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, this special event brought together history, advocacy and conversation for a powerful tribute to one of New York's most influential leaders.

Facing a competitive reelection race this fall, Rep. Mike Lawler joined NY1's Errol Louis for an exclusive one-on-one conversation in the nation's capital. Lawler discussed how he splits time between Washington, D.C. and his Hudson Valley district, and defended the president's decision to bomb Iran without getting full congressional approval.

House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sat down with NY1's Errol Louis in Washington, D.C. this week for an exclusive one-on-one interview.

Jeffries highlighted his new leadership office and outlined the party's strategy for the 2026 midterms, aiming to capture 40–45 seats. He also criticized President Donald Trump's family dealmaking, while praising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for prioritizing affordability and public safety in the city.

Regarding urban development, Jeffries addressed how gentrification is displacing Black and working-class communities, emphasizing the need for policies that protect these neighborhoods.
