民主社会主义者佐赫兰·马姆达尼距离成为纽约市下一任市长仅一步之遥，但现任市长埃里克·亚当斯相信选民不会被愚弄。
“他就是个江湖骗子，”亚当斯周三在《福克斯与朋友们》节目中说。“为了当选，他什么都愿意说，什么都愿意做。”
正在寻求连任的亚当斯此次并未以民主党候选人身份参选。在针对他的联邦腐败调查被撤销后，亚当斯宣布将以独立候选人身份参选。
亚当斯认为，纽约市需要的领导层不应与任何一党的极端立场挂钩。
“有一位候选人逃避自身的履历。还有一位候选人没有履历。而埃里克·亚当斯却拥有履历，”他说。“我为这座城市做出了贡献，我们不会倒退。”
马姆达尼是来自皇后区的33岁州议员，如果当选，他将成为该市首位穆斯林市长。在初选中，他凭借进步派和年轻选民的大力支持，领先于前州长安德鲁·科莫。
由于所有选票尚未统计完毕，马姆达尼尚未正式获胜，科莫的得票率也未达到宣布胜选所需的50%。科莫的得票率大幅落后，最终认输。
然而，一位前州长的助手表示，科莫仍在考虑以第三方或独立身份参选，亚当斯称这是一个错误。
“安德鲁此时应该意识到时代变了，”亚当斯说。“他只是没有展现出想要当市长的热情。”
马姆达尼一直直言不讳地批评唐纳德·特朗普总统，并在胜选演讲中重申了这一点。 他对纽约市的建议包括取消公共交通票价、提供免费市政住房和儿童保育、以及反对移民和海关执法在纽约市的行动。
Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is one step closer to becoming New York City’s next mayor, but current Mayor Eric Adams believes voters won’t be fooled.
“He’s a snake oil salesman,” Adams said on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday. “He would say and do anything to get elected.”
Adams, who is seeking a second term, is not running on the Democratic ticket this time. After a federal corruption investigation against him was dropped, Adams announced he would run as an independent.
Adams argued that the city needs leadership that isn’t tied to the extremes of either political party.
“You had one candidate that was running away from his record. You had another candidate with no record. And you have Eric Adams with a record,” he said. “I delivered for this city, and we’re not going backwards.”
Mamdani is a 33-year-old state assembly member from Queens, and if elected he would become the city’s first Muslim mayor. He was able to pull ahead of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the primary with strong support from progressive and younger voters.
While Mamdani has not yet officially won since all votes haven’t been tallied, and he hasn’t yet passed the 50% threshold needed to call it, Cuomo trailed by a wide margin and has conceded.
However, an aide for the former governor said Cuomo is still considering a third-party or independent run, something Adams called a mistake.
“Andrew, at this time, should realize that the time has moved on,” Adams said. “He just did not bring the energy of wanting to be mayor.”
Mamdani has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and reiterated that during his victory speech. His proposals for New York City include eliminating public transit fares, offering free municipal housing and childcare, and opposing ICE operations within the city.
