Zohran Mamdani publicly apologized on television for tweets that labeled the NYPD "racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety." He had previously apologized privately to officers and had promised a public apology. He said his earlier criticism was driven by the 2020 police killing of George Floyd and a feeling that safety and justice were distant. He apologized to officers on air, acknowledged that NYPD personnel put their lives on the line daily, and said Jessica Tisch is under consideration for police commissioner while stressing no personnel commitments have been made. He addressed President Trump directly and invited dialogue on lowering the cost of living and World Cup hosting.
