Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and candidate for New York City mayor, held a press conference near Andrew Cuomo's residence in the luxurious Oriana apartment complex. During the event, he criticized Cuomo for neglecting working-class New Yorkers and avoiding accountability since his return to the city. Mamdani highlighted his vision for addressing the city's affordability crisis and created a platform to question Cuomo. Despite the lack of response from Cuomo, Mamdani's presence emphasized his commitment to challenging the political status quo and advocating for those overlooked in the system.
"Ever since he moved back to New York City in October after decades of living in Westchester and the Hamptons or in Albany, New Yorkers have been desperate for answers about his record."
"We're having this press conference next to his supposed residence to make it easy for him to come downstairs and address any of those questions."
"There was, of course, no delusion about his rival's appetite for a fight (Cuomo never did emerge); the taunting invite outside the Oriana was a rhetorical exercise."
"Mamdani...was born in Kampala, Uganda, living there and in South Africa until his family moved to New York City when he was seven."
