Rep. Buddy Carter introduced a bill to cut all federal funding to NYC during Mayor-elect Mamdani’s term, citing ideological concerns.

Republican Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia has introduced the "MAMDANI Act," a bill to cut all federal funding to New York City during Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s tenure. The legislation, formally titled the "Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests Act," aims to rescind unobligated federal funds and block new spending in the city, citing concerns over Mamdani’s progressive policies and political views. The move reflects broader Republican opposition to Mamdani’s platform, which includes critiques of capitalism and support for rent control and property redistribution. While the bill is not expected to pass, it underscores partisan tensions over federal funding, local governance, and ideological differences in national politics.
