New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> didn’t appear to get a warm welcome from Staten Island.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, August 4, the politician, 34, visited<\/a> Midland Beach in the evening and spoke at the borough’s 43rd annual NYPD Patrol Borough Staten Island National Night Out Against Crime event, according to Staten Island Advance<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

When Mamdani took the stage<\/a>, he was met with loud boos and heckling per a clip posted on X<\/a>. However, the mayor still delivered some brief remarks before exiting.<\/p>\n

“It’s a real pleasure to be here, happy National Night Out against crime! Thank you!” Mamdani exclaimed at the end of his short speech before getting off the stage.<\/p>\n

According to the NYPD website<\/a>, the “National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships to help make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani has caught heat<\/a> on both sides of the political aisle for his stance on police.<\/p>\n

In July 2025, while campaigning for office, Mamdani told reporters, “I am not defunding the police; I am not running to defund the police,” per Politico<\/a>. “Over the course of this race, I’ve been very clear about my view of public safety and the critical role that the police have in creating that public safety.”<\/p>\n

However, Republicans have still criticized him for his past social media statements bashing the police force before he began his campaign, per FOX News.<\/a><\/p>\n

In one post from June 2020, Mamdani wrote on X<\/a>, “We don’t need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti\u2011queer & a major threat to public safety. What we need is to #DefundTheNYPD. But your compromise uses budget tricks to keep as many cops as possible on the beat. NO to fake cuts \u2013 defund the police.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in June, the organization Democratic Socialists of America slammed Mamdani for supporting a plan to increase the police force, The New York Times<\/a> reported. Additionally, he has kept billionaire Jessica Tisch in her position as police commissioner and typically refers to her for policing.<\/p>\n
