Andrew Cuomo publicly criticized Zohran Mamdani for living in a rent-stabilized apartment, suggesting that it prevents a needy family from securing housing. He highlighted Mamdani's affluent background, including his wealthy spouse, and pointed to his reported salary of $142,000 as evidence of his wealth. Cuomo claimed the city is facing a severe affordability crisis and asserted that wealthy individuals should vacate their rent-controlled apartments to provide them for the low-income families in need. He called for Mamdani to act with moral clarity and immediately relinquish the apartment.
"Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment."
"We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it."
"No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich."
"Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity."
