| Description | Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo slammed Big Apple mayoral opponent Zohran Mamdani Friday for living in a rent-stabilized apartment, despite being "very rich."
"Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman [Zohran Mamdani], are occupying her rent-controlled apartment," Cuomo posted to X on Friday along with a video of the lawmaker saying his monthly rent totals $2,300.
Cuomo, who lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani but is taking him on again as an independent in the general election, called on his opponent to surrender his apartment to someone more deserving of a subsidy. He cited Mamdani's affluent upbringing, more than six-figure income and international property ownership. Cuomo also noted Mamdani’s wife is employed — driving their household income even higher.
"No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person," Cuomo said in the post. "You are actually very rich. Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it."
