@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social says he "can't quite imagine Andrew Cuomo working with Tish James and Kathy Hochul" to prvent Trump from sending the national guard into NYC. Cuomo has bad blood with James in particular.

Asked what he would do if officers turn their backs on him like on de Blasio, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social says "you take every opportunity you can to build a relationship such that the disagreements...are understood to still be accompanied with a respect for the work that is being done."

During a @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social public safety forum @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social repeats an attack on rival Andrew Cuomo from the Dem primary, that the former gov's cutting of the state Advantage housing voucher program in 2011 "led to a skyrocketing of homelessness here in New York City."

Mamdani identifies as a democratic socialist, not a communist. Adams is running as an independent after bowing out of the Dem primary.

Mayor Adams says Dem nominee @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is "not a Democrat, he's a communist," when asked why Dem House Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Yvette Clarke have not endorsed.

"It would be challenging to endorse his policies that are really anti-what working-class people want," he says.

Mamdani says he was “taken aback” by Mayor Adams’ recent vetoes and his “decision to betray”working New Yorkers. The bills included decriminalizing street vending and raising the minimum wage for grocery delivery workers.

Richard’s says a lot of the negative “rhetoric” about Mamdani that has been circulating, including that he is antisemitic and inexperienced, is “unfounded.”

Richards compares Mamdani with Barrack Obama, saying Mamdani “gave me hope.” A comparison that has been made by many.

“He provided a pathway for people to dream, for people to hope,” he says.

Richards says he’s “confident” @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will be a “partner” who will not criminalize street vendors and will get them licensed. Mayor Adams recently vetoed a city council bill to decriminalize street vending.
