Zohran Mamdani

I just want to know if these principles apply universally or if they only apply to the people of Israel.

There's been this controversy over the snow laborers and the sort of what some see as onerous need to have documentation.

Can you just talk about if that's new and what you make of the controversy?

This is all longstanding.

This is a longstanding program and longstanding requirements.

And this is a way that New Yorkers get paid to shovel snow in assistance with the city's response to a winter storm event.

Federal law requires that employers get authorization and documentation to pay people for their work.

We are not allowed to just cut checks to individuals for their work.

And these are the policies that we've had in place, but I understand that for many it's the first time that they've ever heard about it.

Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani says that he will end the Adams administration's practice of removing homeless encampments from city sidewalks.

But advocates argue it will be a step backwards for the city's quality of life.

Ali Bauman questioned the mayor-elect about this tonight.

For the past three years, the NYPD has been systematically removing homeless encampments from New York City sidewalks, a practice mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani vows to end once he takes office.

Now imagine for a moment what it means to have the first Muslim mayor, the first South Asian mayor, leading the city with such a progressive agenda.

His campaign resonated deeply with voters, especially young people.

He proposed fare-free city buses, universal childcare, and even city-owned grocery stores to tackle food insecurity.

These concepts may sound radical to some, particularly his aim for a $30 minimum wage by the year 2030,

but they reflect a growing movement towards progressive reforms that many believe are necessary in today's economy.

Supporters argue that this victory signals a mandate for reshaping urban governance.

With nearly 100,000 members, the Democratic Socialists of America has been gaining traction, and Mamdani's victory suggests this movement is not just a passing trend, but potentially a significant force reshaping U.S.
