Former Governor of Ny Slamms Mamdani for alleged $ 2,300 apartment

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo criticized the opponent of Big Apple Zohran Mamdani on Friday for having lived in an apartment stabilized in the rent, although he is “very rich”.

“Somewhere last night in New York, a single mother and her children slept in a shelter for homeless because you, assembly (Zohran Mamdani), occupy his controlled rent apartment,” Cuomo told X on Friday with a video of the legislator saying that his monthly rents total $ 2,300.

Cuomo, who lost the democratic primary against Mamdani but brings him back as independent in the general elections, called his opponent to make his apartment more deserving a grant. He cited the rich education of Mamdani, more than six figures and international property. Cuomo also noted that Mamdani’s wife is employed – which has changed the income of their household.

“No matter how you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person,” said Cuomo in the position. “You are actually very rich. However, you and your wife pay $ 2,300 per month, as you boasted, for a beautiful apartment in Astoria. It should be accommodation for someone who needs it.”

The former governor has also cited New York’s affordability crisis, noting that millions of low -income residents in the city need apartments at reasonable prices. The median rent in New York has reached $ 3,397, an increase of almost $ 200 since 2024, according to In Realtor.com.

“Today, I call you to move immediately and restore your affordable accommodation to a homeless family that needs it,” said Cuomo. “Managers must show moral clarity. It’s time to move.”

“Until now, Zohran Mamdani and his campaign have managed to escape any meticulous exam: he speaks like Bernie but lives like Bezos,” a spokesman for Cuomo News Digital in an email. “It turns out that New York keys are a non-presentation hypocritical and to do, is a bad idea. Andrew Cuomo presents himself to protect our streets, for real affordability and to build a new city in New York by giving those who really need it.”
