A House Republican lawmaker is set to propose a bill that would block federal funds to New York City for as long as democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is mayor.
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) is spearheading the “Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests Act,” or the “MAMDANI Act,” Fox News first reported.
The bill is two pages and states that “notwithstanding any other provision of law, during any period in which Zohran Mamdani is mayor of New York… any unobligated Federal funds available” for the city “are hereby rescinded” and that “no Federal funds may be obligated or expended for any purpose to New York, New York.”
The bill is expected to be introduced on Friday, according to the report.
Socialist Muslim Mamdani, 34, won the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday, beating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an Independent, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.
End the filibuster and get it done ASAP! I do feel sorry for the few in New York who had the good judgement to vote against him but this communist muslim must be stopped. The city will be bankrupt in a few years anyway, with or without federal money.
