This Week in Politics: Sorting through Mayor Adams' new Covid exemptions

Mayor Eric Adams sits inside Veselka, a restaurant in the East Village, on the first day eateries were no longer required to check a customer's proof of vaccination.

This week, just in time for the NBA playoffs and baseball season, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced he was exempting athletes and performers from the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private workers. That means, for example, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, who is unvaccinated, can now play home games.

WNYC's Elizabeth Kim reports on mayoral power. She joins Weekend Edition host David Furst to talk about the timing of the change and the latest reaction.
