Mayor’s Wins and Carriage Crisis

Mayor’s Wins and Carriage Crisis

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s political week just got legendary—three endorsed congressional candidates won, including two who ousted longtime incumbents, with the biggest upset coming from District 13, where a Democratic Socialist defeated a five-term veteran. Meanwhile, New York City’s horse-drawn carriage debate explodes again after a tragic teen fall, reigniting the fight over animal welfare and tourism. A sweeping ban bill is now moving through City Council, backed by advocates like Councilman Christopher Marte, but facing fierce resistance from carriage drivers’ unions whose livelihoods hang in the balance. This isn’t just about tradition—it’s about safety, economy, and the future of Central Park’s iconic rides.
