New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani<\/a> is appealing to supporters for donations as he prepares to take office.<\/p>\n

“I hope very soon not to have to ask you for money. But until then, I’m askin’ for you to go to transition2025.com, give whatever you can \u2026” Mamdani said in a video<\/a> posted Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The incoming mayor explained that transition operations do not qualify for public matching funds, unlike campaign contributions.<\/p>\n

“Now unlike the campaign, transitions do not get public matching funds from the city. So that eight-to-one match: gone. It’s up to us to raise the money. Usually campaigns take that as an opportunity to rely on wealthy donors, but that’s not us,” he said.<\/p>\n
