Socialist Zohran Mamdani Won’t Stop Asking His Supporters To Redistribute Wealth … To Him

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.”

Mamdani touted that his transition team has raised more than $1 million in two weeks and that he has raised significantly less money than Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who received an average of $1,219 from donors.

“We’ve raised more than $1 million in just two weeks,” Mamdani continued. “Our average donation is around $77 and more than 12,000 of you have donated so far, Which is much lower than the last administration’s transition. But we’re still asking for your help because we need to raise $4 million in total so January 1 can be the day we start to deliver, not start to prepare. I hope very soon not to have to ask you for money, but until then, I’m asking.”

Mamdani also attached the ActBlue link where people can make donations.
