Mamdani expressed his intention to collaborate with everyone, including the richest, if he is elected
Democratic candidate for the City Hall, Zohran Mamdani, positioned himself against the presence of billionaires in society, stating that “we should not have billionaires.” He rejected the classification of “communist” attributed by Donald Trump, preferring to identify himself as a “democratic socialist.” Mamdani expressed his intention to collaborate with everyone, including the richest if elected. In his statements, Mamdani criticized the concentration of wealth in a scenario marked by inequality, emphasizing the need to promote more equity in the city, in the state and throughout the country. He believes that economic disparity is a problem that should be urgently faced.
In responding to Trump’s criticism, the candidate said he is already used to receiving comments about his appearance and origin. This answer demonstrates his resilience in the face of personal attacks and his willingness to focus on more relevant issues for the population. Trump, in turn, warned the candidate, suggesting that if Mamdani assumes the city, he must “do the right things” to ensure that the city does not lose federal resources. This statement reflects the former president’s concern with the city’s financial management under a new administration.
