""What New Yorkers need is a mayor who can stand up to Donald Trump and actually deliver on that safety," he went on. "When Donald Trump sent ICE agents on people in Los Angeles, Andrew Cuomo said that New Yorkers need not overreact. That is the furthest answer that New Yorkers are looking for. They are looking for someone who will lead, someone who will say that they will have their back, someone who will actually fight for the people of this city.""
""We do not need the National Guard here in New York City," answered Mamdani. "If it was safety that President Trump was so concerned about, he would send them to the eight out of ten states that have the highest levels of crime in this country. But he won't because they're all run by Republicans," he asserted. He asserted that Trump is "not sending in the National Guard to do any real function. It's control. It's power.""
Candidates in the New York City mayoral debate were asked how they would respond if President Trump ordered National Guard troops into the city. All three candidates opposed sending the National Guard to city streets. Zohran Mamdani said New Yorkers do not need the National Guard and criticized the deployment as politically motivated, noting Trump would send troops to higher-crime Republican-run states instead. Mamdani called for a mayor who will stand up to Trump and fight for residents. Andrew Cuomo argued that the subways need more NYPD rather than National Guard presence. Curtis Sliwa also indicated opposition.
