Zohran Mamdani distances himself from past ‘defund the NYPD’ tweet

Zohran Mamdani, Democratic candidate for the mayor of New York City, says he does not plan on defunding the New York Police Department if he wins in November, contradicting previous statements he made before running for mayor. Mamdani’s stance on defunding the police gained increased scrutiny after a mass shooting in Manhattan left four people dead, including one member of the NYPD.
