- He defended his membership despite disagreements within the group.
- Several campaign promises remain unfulfilled.

## Summary

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he rejects some positions associated with the Democratic Socialists of America, including abolishing the Senate, borders, the Supreme Court and jails. In a Fox News interview, he also defended remaining in the group, arguing its members can disagree while sharing a commitment to working-class people.

Mamdani said he believes there is broad public support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while describing the cost-of-living crisis as a reason people are drawn to politics. He acknowledged that campaign promises can take years to fulfil and cited progress on childcare, as several pledges, including a $30-an-hour minimum wage and free buses, remain unmet. He has also faced criticism from left-wing supporters over decisions including keeping the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group.
