GOP Lawmaker Targets Mayor-Elect Mamdani With New Legislation

A House Republican lawmaker is moving to cut off federal funding to New York City for the duration of Zohran Mamdani’s tenure as mayor.

The proposal, spearheaded by Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), is titled the Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests Act — or, pointedly, the “MAMDANI Act.”

The bill, which is only two pages, states that “notwithstanding any other provision of law, during any period in which Zohran Mamdani is mayor of New York, New York” that “any unobligated Federal funds available” for the city “are hereby rescinded” and that “no Federal funds may be obligated or expended for any purpose to New York, New York.”

Fox News Digital reported that Carter was expected to introduce the legislation on Friday.

The 34-year-old socialist clinched victory in Tuesday’s New York City mayoral race, defeating independent candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as well as Republican contender Curtis Sliwa.

The outcome came as little surprise to political observers — after all, New York City hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since Michael Bloomberg secured a second term back in 2005.

While Carter’s bill stands little chance of advancing in the House, it underscores how sharply focused Republicans have become on Mamdani’s rise. GOP leaders are already framing the newly elected socialist mayor as the face — and future — of the Democratic Party, the New York Post Noted.

A House Republican campaign strategist told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the GOP plans to link vulnerable Democrats nationwide to Mamdani and his far-left agenda.

Carter, who is running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, added that taxpayer money from his state “should not be wasted on programs that will bankrupt the financial capital of the world.”
