NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 13: New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani speaks during a campaign rally at United Palace on October 13, 2025 in New York City. With the November 4th general election less than a month away, Mamdani, who maintains a double-digit lead over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, held a rally to focus on his campaign promises for an affordable city for all residents, which include providing universal childcare, a rent freeze for rent-stabilized apartments, and free buses. Attorney General Letitia James made her first public appearance after her indictment, urging voters to support Mamdani. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)

Overview

  • In a Fox News sit‑down, Zohran Mamdani looked into the camera to tell President Trump he would not govern like Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo and said he is ready to work on lowering New Yorkers’ cost of living.
  • Pressed on the Gaza ceasefire, Mamdani said it was too early to credit the president and framed his stance around justice, safety and adherence to international law.
  • Mamdani offered a brief public apology to NYPD officers for past language after previously apologizing in a closed‑door meeting with rank‑and‑file members.
  • Trump this week again threatened to withhold federal funds if Mamdani wins and has labeled him a communist, rhetoric echoed in conservative media coverage.
  • A Quinnipiac poll from early October shows Mamdani at 46% with a double‑digit lead, and he is set to debate Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa on Thursday ahead of the Nov. 4 election.
