Immigrant socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani explicitly stated his intentions of hiking taxes for “richer and whiter neighborhoods,” while arguing that billionaires shouldn’t exist.

Mamdani, a Ugandan immigrant, has explicitly called for taxes to shift from “homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.”

Mamdani doubled down on his proposed tax policy, arguing that the decision was “not driven by race.”

“That is just a description of what we’re seeing right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed,” he stated on Sunday. “We’ve seen time and again that this is a property tax system that is inequitable. It’s one that Eric Adams ran on, saying that he would change in the first 100 days.”

Mamdani also ran on free city buses, rent freezes on rent-stabilized units, city-owned grocery stores and a $30 minimum wage, while asserting that billionaires should not exist.

“I don’t think that we should have billionaires, frankly,” Mamdani stated.

Mamdani was able to best former New York State governor Andrew Cuomo in the 2025 Democratic nomination for the New York mayoralty, making him the frontrunner to win the November election.

Meanwhile, GOP NYC Councilman David Carr has called on Mamdani to “drop the divisive rhetoric.”

“The objective of our reforms is to make our property tax system fairer and more transparent and to ensure that middle and working-class homeowners aren’t subsidizing lower taxes for wealthy property owners,” Carr stated.

“It’s not about blaming people based on race or class or political affiliation, and if Zohran Mamdani wants to come on board, then he should drop the divisive rhetoric,” he added.

Beyond Carr, New York Democrat Rep. Laura Gillen (D-N.Y.) called Mamdani “too extreme” to run New York City.

“Socialist Zohran Mamdani is too extreme to lead New York City,” Gillen stated. “His entire campaign has been built on unachievable promises and higher taxes, which is the last thing New York needs.”

Gillen also noted that Mamdani has previously called to “defund the police.”

President Donald Trump sharply criticized NYC socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, threatening to cut federal funding if he is elected and implements his proposed agenda.

Trump slammed Mamdani as a “pure communist,” during a Sunday interview on Fox News.

“He’s a communist, and I think it’s very bad for New York,” Trump stated. “Let’s just say, if he does get in, I’m going to be president and he’s going to have to do the right thing, or they’re not getting any money.”

According to NYC’s comptroller, the city enjoyed over $100 billion from the federal government through various programs and entities in 2024, which could significantly impact Mamdani’s proposed agenda.

“I can tell you this, whoever’s mayor of New York is going to have to behave themselves, or the federal government is coming down very tough on them financially,” Trump continued. “I used to say we will never have a socialist in this country.”

“He’s a radical left lunatic,” he added.

Trump’s comments follow after 33-year-old Mamdani was able to secure the NYC’s Democrat mayoral primary over former New York Governor Chris Cuomo, positioning Mamdani as a front runner for November’s election.

Mamdani’s socialist agenda includes freezing rents for rent-stabilized units, city-owned grocery stores, free bus fares, tax increases for “Whiter neighborhoods,” and upholding NYC’s sanctuary status, among other things.

Mamdani appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, where he refuted Trump’s claim that he’s a communist, stating: “No, I am not.”

“I am not, and I have already had to start getting used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I’m from, who I am,” Mamdani stated.

Mamdani also reiterated his belief that billionaires shouldn’t exist – vowing to increase taxes on “richer, whiter neighborhoods.”

“I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality – and ultimately what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country,” Mamdani stated, “And I look forward to work with everyone, including billionaires, to make a city that is fairer for all of them.”

Additionally, Mamdani has also vowed to uphold NYC’s sanctuary status amidst President Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

“It’s a policy that had previously been defended by Democrats and Republicans alike, until the fear mongering of this current mayor,” Mamdani stated, referencing NYC Mayor Eric Adams. “And it’s a policy that we’ve seen ensures that New Yorkers can get out of the shadows and into the full life of the city that they belong to, and it’s one that I will be proud to stand up for.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) have all expressed support for Mamdani’s campaign.
