"What we have seen in cities and states across the country is the necessity of, not just using the bully pulpit but also the courts, to ensure that every dollar that a municipality is owed is a dollar that is paid,"
"And I will take every single day, after this election, to put together my city government, my city hall, to ensure that it is prepared not only for the threats from Donald Trump, but also the threats from an affordability crisis that has put one in four New Yorkers in poverty."
"going to be hard for me, as the president, to give a lot of money to New York."
"Because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there,"
Zohran Mamdani marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall at sunrise with supporters, local officials and Attorney General Letitia James as an early demonstration before Election Day. He pledged to fight threats from the Trump administration and to use courts and city institutions to secure every dollar owed to the municipality. He promised to assemble city government after the election and to prepare for both federal pressure and an affordability crisis that has driven many New Yorkers into poverty. President Trump warned he might withhold federal funds if Mamdani wins and labeled Mamdani a communist, a label Mamdani rejects. Mamdani previously led a Five Boroughs Against Trump campaign.
