A House Republican lawmaker is moving to cut off federal funding to New York City for the duration of Zohran Mamdani\u2019s tenure as mayor.<\/p>\n
The proposal, spearheaded by Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), is titled the Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests Act \u2014 or, pointedly, the \u201cMAMDANI Act.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bill, which is only two pages, states that \u201cnotwithstanding any other provision of law, during any period in which Zohran Mamdani is mayor of New York, New York\u201d that \u201cany unobligated Federal funds available\u201d for the city \u201care hereby rescinded\u201d and that \u201cno Federal funds may be obligated or expended for any purpose to New York, New York.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fox News Digital\u00a0reported\u00a0that Carter was expected to introduce the legislation on Friday.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old socialist clinched victory in Tuesday\u2019s New York City mayoral race, defeating independent candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as well as Republican contender Curtis Sliwa.<\/p>\n
The outcome came as little surprise to political observers \u2014 after all, New York City hasn\u2019t elected a Republican mayor since Michael Bloomberg secured a second term back in 2005.<\/p>\n
While Carter\u2019s bill stands little chance of advancing in the House, it underscores how sharply focused Republicans have become on Mamdani\u2019s rise. GOP leaders are already framing the newly elected socialist mayor as the face \u2014 and future \u2014 of the Democratic Party,\u00a0the New York Post noted.<\/p>\n
A House Republican campaign strategist told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the GOP plans to link vulnerable Democrats nationwide to Mamdani and his far-left agenda.<\/p>\n
Carter, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, added that taxpayer money from his state \u201cshould not be wasted on programs that will bankrupt the financial capital of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf New Yorkers want communism, we should let them have their wish and not artificially prop them up with our successful capitalist system,\u201d Carter said. \u201cAny New Yorker with common sense is welcome to move to the great, FREE state of Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mamdani is\u00a0already facing backlash\u00a0over the video he released following his victory over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.<\/p>\n
Following his victory, Mamdani shared a video on X outlining his plans for the transition period, emphasizing that \u201ca lot of work lies ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
The newly elected New York City mayor thanked his supporters and explained that, while he had previously asked them to stop sending campaign donations, he was now encouraging contributions from \u201cworking class\u201d residents to help fund the transition. Mamdani said the funds would be used to hire policy experts, strengthen infrastructure, and support the early stages of his administration.<\/p>\n
Along with the video, Mamdani wrote, \u201cThank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let\u2019s get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n
His demand for donations immediately after his election victory sparked backlash online.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been less than 24 hours since Mamdani won the election & he\u2019s already asking for money. Congratulations New York City, bravo,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n
Another added, \u201cIslamist and Communist Mamdani promises \u2018free\u2019 stuff. Now he begs for donations?\u201d Yet another person commented, \u201cAlready begging for money. What a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liberal commentator Van Jones was among those\u00a0raising alarm\u00a0at Democratic socialist mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani\u2019s fiery victory speech, noting what he called an instant \u201ccharacter switch\u201d as soon as the election was called.<\/p>\n
Jones told CNN that the 34-year-old\u2019s tone was a stark departure from the calm and collected image he showed on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he missed an opportunity. I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech,\u201d Jones said on a post-election panel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling. That\u2019s not the Mamdani that we\u2019ve seen on TikTok and the great interviews and stuff like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
At his side were Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 11 \u2014two of Donald Trump Jr.\u2019s children. In the background, Trump Jr. appeared with his girlfriend, Bettina Anderson. Trump Jr., who has five children, has remained a visible figure throughout his father\u2019s political career.<\/p>\n

Trump Jr.\u2019s eldest daughter, Kai, 18, is also in the spotlight for her shared passion for golf with her grandfather. Kai recently drew attention at the 2024 Republican National Convention, where she spoke in glowing terms about President Trump during her highly praised debut speech.<\/p>\n
The family\u2019s departure follows several days in the United Kingdom, where the president spent time at his world-famous golf resorts in Scotland while also engaging in high-level diplomatic talks. During the trip, Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and the two leaders reportedly worked through trade tariff issues as both nations look to strengthen economic ties.<\/p>\n
UK Threatens to Recognize Palestine Amid Gaza Crisis<\/p>\n
While Trump focused on trade, a dramatic diplomatic development emerged from London. Prime Minister Starmer announced that the United Kingdom will formally recognize the state of Palestine if Israel does not take immediate steps to end the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and agree to a sustainable ceasefire.<\/p>\n
If carried out, this would make the UK the second G7 country, following France, to commit to Palestinian recognition \u2014 a decision that would significantly shift the geopolitical landscape. The announcement comes 77 years after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, a historic event that displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs.<\/p>\n
Humanitarian Crisis Sparks Global Attention<\/p>\n
The timing of Starmer\u2019s statement coincides with dire reports from Gaza, where widespread starvation has become a growing concern. Israeli blockades have intensified the situation, pushing the region to the brink of famine.<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed back against accusations that Israel is restricting aid, while strongly condemning France\u2019s move toward recognizing Palestine.<\/p>\n
In a rare departure from his usual stance, President Trump publicly criticized Netanyahu\u2019s response to the crisis, particularly comments dismissing reports of starvation.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the United States has stepped up relief efforts, sending an estimated $60 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza over the weekend in an attempt to ease the suffering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
