New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has said he wants to "shift the tax burden" to "richer and whiter neighborhoods" if he secures election in November. A housing policy document on Mamdani's official website includes a pledge to "shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani claimed victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary early Wednesday morning.

New York Mayor Eric Adams is kicking off his independent reelection bid. He says Thursday at City Hall that the race is a choice between a blue-collar candidate and one with a silver spoon, referring to likely Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani.
