Elizabeth Warren supports the affordability agenda of Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic NYC mayoral nominee. During a debate with CNBC's David Faber, she highlighted how rising costs are forcing families out of the city. While Faber expressed concern about taxing the wealthy driving them away, Warren asserted that a vibrant city should accommodate all people. Her argument centers on the necessity for both living and working citizens to maintain city vitality, countering perspectives that favor billionaires over everyday citizens.
The issue is affordability. Do you know how many working families are chased out of New York City every day because they can't afford housing, they can't afford groceries, they can't afford child care?
What Zohran is saying is, 'I want people to be able to afford to live in New York City.' That's what keeps it a vibrant city. That's what makes people want to live here.
Oh my goodness! Oh dear! Are you worried the billionaires are going to go hungry?
But what Mamdani won on in a Democratic primary is he said, 'I'm going to address affordability.' And he didn't win by one vote. He won by a lot.
