I’ve made my position clear from the start and it has not changed: Zohran Mamdani’s policies are not the right direction for New York.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani is too extreme to lead New York City.

I just didn’t think that New York would elect someone who is a self-proclaimed socialist to lead the city that is the global epicenter of capitalism. So, I was very surprised.

This number is nothing short of insulting to hardworking Long Islanders.

I criticized the Biden administration when 40,000 migrants were bused to New York and our mayor was asking for help, and they said they were going to send guidance. We didn't need guidance. We needed resources.

In my letter to Biden, I said that New Yorkers should be reimbursed for the costs we've had to expend to clothe and feed and house people who are sent here.

I think that this is an issue, the border is an issue that he recognizes is very important to people, again, on both sides of the aisles.
