Urges supporters to give cash to ‘make New York City affordable’
Democratic New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wasted no time Wednesday turning his historic victory into another fundraising push.
Mamdani clinched the New York City mayoral race Tuesday night, defeating independent candidate and former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. Less than a day after being elected, the self-avowed socialist urged supporters to open their wallets once again, this time to bankroll his transition team.
“Remember how I told you a few months ago to stop sending us money? You can start again,” Mamdani said. “This transition requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can meet this moment. And it will be made possible by the people who built and believe in this movement. So I hope you’ll make a donation at transition2025.com.”
“Last night we made history, and today we begin the work of making a new administration.
