"What is your opinion, Zohran?"
"Don't be a politician here."
"I have not yet taken a position on those ballot amendments,"
"Oh, what a shocker! Don't worry once he takes [a position] he'll change it anyway."
Cuomo and Sliwa temporarily aligned to taunt and press Zohran Mamdani for declining to state positions on high-stakes ballot proposals affecting City Council authority over housing approvals. One measure would eliminate "member deference," a practice critics say has impeded housing development and worsened affordability. Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary focusing on affordability, declined to take positions on those amendments or on moving local elections to even years. The joint attacks highlighted Mamdani's cautious general-election strategy but did not markedly alter the dynamics of a race where he leads by double digits and remains the clear frontrunner.
