Mayor Eric Adams expressed strong opposition to Zohran Mamdani's push to decriminalize prostitution, emphasizing the religious and ethical implications of the issue. He stated, "I can't be more clear. I'm a man of God, just as Mamdani says he's a Muslim. I don't know where in his Quran it states that it's ok for a woman to be on the streets selling their body." Adams views Mamdani's stance as neglecting the serious issues of sex trafficking and safety for vulnerable populations.
The point raised by Andrew Cuomo emphasizes that rent-controlled apartments should ideally support those who are truly in need of affordable housing, rather than benefiting individuals with substantial incomes.
On Wednesday, WABC New York radio host Sid Rosenberg appeared on Fox News, where he expressed the fear shared by many establishment pundits, which is that Cuomo and Adams will split the non-Republican, anti-Mamdani vote.
Jewish New Yorkers show significant support for Zohran Mamdani, capturing 37% of their votes, while concerns about antisemitism and local issues dominate their perspectives.
Mamdani's proposal is a public option for produce, aiming to redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores to lower prices and avoid price gouging. The initiative intends to operate without profit motives and collaborate with small businesses and local farms, offering wholesale pricing to consumers.
If you don't clap for El-Yateem, you're a Zionist!" This joke by Zohran Mamdani has sparked outrage, with critics claiming it turns 'Zionist' into a slur.
Netanyahu labeled Mamdani's proposed policies as nonsense, suggesting he would likely serve one term if elected in November, and criticized calls to defund the police.
Mamdani announced the trip in a video posted to social media. In the video, he jokes that he's decided to heed the advice of some online critics to 'go back to Africa.' But, he says, he wants to apologise to haters because he would be back in New York at the end of July.
