Democratic New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is continuing to ask his supporters to send him more money following his election victory.
Mamdani posted a video to X on Tuesday stating that he needs to raise at least $4 million so he can pay his employees, vet the 50,000 resumes he has received and implement his socialist policies. He bragged that his campaign is not relying on wealthy donors, but rather the average working American.
“But why are we fundraising? Well, we have less than 50 days until we take office and we have a lot to do,” Mamdani said. “We have to vet the 50,000 resumes we’ve received. We have to keep paying our incredible team. And we have to plan not just our inauguration, but our policy implementation. Now unlike the campaign, transitions do not get public matching funds from the city. So that 8 to 1 match? Gone. It’s up to us to raise the money.”
