Eric Adams disapproves of Zohran Mamdani's affordability proposals, describing them as unrealistic and harmful. He asserts that promising voters unachievable goals is damaging. Adams cites his own experiences with poverty to underscore the disconnect between Mamdani's privileged background and the real struggles of working-class New Yorkers. Mamdani's agenda includes implementing city-owned grocery stores and universal free childcare. Adams plans to articulate Mamdani's platform flaws to voters and aims to register one million new voters for his reelection campaign.
"All of these things sound good because the affordability issue is real. I grew up in poverty. I grew up on the verge of homelessness. I know what it is to be struggling. I know where poverty is. He grew up in luxury. He doesn't know the real story of a New Yorker and how difficult it is. I think nothing is more harmful than promising things to people you know you can't deliver. That's wrong to do, and I'm going to let New Yorkers know that."
The Democrat-turned-Independent mayor argued that Mamdani's platform is built on false hope, insisting that there's nothing more damaging than promising voters things Mamdani himself knows cannot be delivered.
Mamdani's office did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
A key part of Adams' reelection strategy involves articulating Mamdani's platform to voters in a way that highlights its flaws.
