New York City Mayor Eric Adams has publicly criticized Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his support of decriminalizing prostitution. Adams questioned how Mamdani's stance aligns with his Islamic faith, stating, "I don’t know where in his Quran it says that a woman is allowed to trade her body on the street." Mamdani, a socialist candidate, has advocated for legalizing sex work as part of his platform. Adams also challenged Mamdani's broader policy proposals, dismissing promises such as free public transportation as unrealistic and financially unsustainable, highlighting that $3 billion plans funded by taxing the wealthy cannot be delivered and warning that such broken promises could harm the city. Additionally, Adams declared that the mayoral race field will not be consolidated, with five candidates remaining on the ballot, emphasizing the importance of mobilizing millions of voters who have yet to participate.
