Mamdani has faced controversy over a number of his statements and positions. The democratic socilalist's website includes a housing policy document that states that if he were elected, his administration would "shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and Whiter neighborhoods."
He has also faced scrutiny for anti-Israel positions, such as support for the "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions" movement targeting the Jewish state. He has also stated that, if elected mayor, he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if he visits the city.

Despite this, Mamdani came out on top in last week's Democratic mayoral primary, defeating rivals such as former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. In the general election, he is slated to face Republican Curtis Sliwa and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an Independent.
