Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani has doubled down on his pro-prostitution policies. After being hounded by rival campaigns about his stance on decriminalizing sex work as a Queens assemblymember, Mamdani said Wednesday that he wants to mirror the policies of his favorite ex-mayor: Bill de Blasio.

As he campaigns for mayor, Cuomo has increased his attacks against Mamdani, focusing on the 33-year-old’s stance on the issue of prostitution.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, has rocketed past his rivals in fundraising, bringing in a little more than $1 million in recent weeks, according to new campaign reports filed Friday.
