Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral candidate for New York City known for his socialist platform, has been actively campaigning with his "Five Boroughs Against Trump" tour. During a recent event in Staten Island, Mamdani faced vocal opposition from local residents who booed him and told him to leave the borough. At one campaign stop, Mamdani was booed out of a restaurant amid hostile remarks accusing him of being anti-Semitic and unwelcomed. The event also saw the detention of pro-Trump artist Scott LoBaido by police. Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Eric Adams highlighted the city's improved safety record, contrasting it with Mamdani's stance advocating for police defunding. Despite the protests, Mamdani continues to hold rallies across the city, emphasizing his commitment to "Trump-proof" New York City.
