Zohran Mamdani remained tight-lipped when questioned about funding his ambitious $10 billion proposal for his socialist platform. This comes in the wake of Governor Kathy Hochul’s firm stance against increasing income taxes.

“Look, many doubted my campaign’s viability from the start. Yet, here I am, proud to be the Democratic nominee with the highest vote count in city primary history,” Mamdani remarked, sidestepping the financial inquiry.

When pressed for specifics on securing nearly 10% of the current budget, Mamdani offered minimal clarity.

“We have introduced a plan aimed at reducing costs across New York City,” he stated.

A core element of Mamdani’s campaign is his commitment to increasing taxes on individuals earning over $1 million, as well as on corporations.
