Zohran Mamdani arrives at Centro Islamico Del Caribe in San Juan. He’s attending Jummah prayers and then doing food distribution for the Somos day of service.
I’m walking into City Hall from one direction while Mayor Adams comes from the other. Before I can get a word in, he says “This is New York, we don’t wear Boston hats.”
It’s a Brooklyn Dodgers hat!
Man in the black and white flag mask biked in circles around the Zohran Mamdani presser in Jackson Heights calling the mayoral candidate “a terrorist.” After a minute or two of that, this muscular man screams at him to get out of here with his bigoted shit.
Standing in the cold for 20 minutes last night, I talked to just one #NY03 voter.
He was for Suozzi. Why, I asked?
“Well, I'm trans, so I'm not going to vote Republican because they're trying to kill us.” (1/3)
Curtis Sliwa worked the 3 train, even meeting a man with a Mamdani button.
Omar Jadwad told me after he’s canvassed for Zohran. “Neither Sliwa nor Cuomo has a solid, workable vision for the city. But he appreciates that Sliwa is working. “You don’t see Cuomo out there.”
“You’re that guy Zohran?” Mayoral candidate is outside the Museum of Natural History on the Upper West Side for the first day of early voting.
“I was watching an Instagram video of you this morning!” another voter says.
Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing. Video from the city comptroller’s press secretary @chloecbristow. She says he’s still being held in 26 Federal Plaza.
“It feels pretty great,” Cuomo’s 2018 opponent Cynthia Nixon said. “I don't know how or why he would try and come back from this. Although I'm not really sure why he ran again after being so trounced in the primary, but I think this is definitive, and it feels very good.”
Police say cutting $1 billion from the NYPD budget could set city crime control back 30 years.
“The negative impact of a cut of this magnitude would be felt in every neighborhood citywide.”
