Christina Greer, associate professor of political science at Fordham University and the author of Black Ethnics: Race, Immigration, and the Pursuit of the American Dream (Oxford University Press 2013), and Grace Rauh, NY1 political reporter, talk about the state of the mayor's race, Brooklyn Councilman David Greenfield's council race and the race to replace councilwoman Julissa Ferraras-Copeland in Queens.
