Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani will apologize for a 2020 social media post in which he called the NYPD “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety,” his campaign confirmed to amNewYork.
Mamdani’s apparent shift on his past comments — he first revealed this in a Thursday interview with The New York Times — comes after he previously said those comments were “out of step” with his mayoral bid but stopped short of formally apologizing for them.
