(New York, NY) — Democratic mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani is ratcheting up his attacks against President Trump. He is in the midst of what he calls a “Five Boroughs Against Trump” tour this week where he plans on visiting the city’s boroughs to reject Trump’s agenda. At the start of his tour in Manhattan yesterday, the 35-year-old blasted Trump for cuts to Medicaid, food stamps and housing programs. Mamdani is trying to convey the message that he is a much stronger candidate to stand up to Trump than the other mayoral candidates, Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa.
Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo is proposing something he’s calling “Zohran’s Law” after his fellow mayoral candidate. It’s Cuomo’s latest attempt to dislodge the 33-year-old’s front-runner status in the mayor’s race. He’s deriding Mamdani as “privileged,” saying he shouldn’t live in a 23-hundred-dollar a month rent-stabilized apartment when he has wealthy parents and earns 142-thousand-dollars a year as a Queens Assemblyman. Cuomo is accusing Mamdani of “an abuse of the system” and a “fraud.” Mamdani says he secured the apartment when he was making $50,000 a year.
