纽约市民主社会主义派市长佐赫兰·曼达尼周四多次回避有关报道所称的、将于今年秋季发起针对纽约富人和企业增税的公众施压运动的问题。
据《纽约邮报》报道，曼达尼计划在劳动节后为相关提案争取公众支持，这些提案与霍楚尔州长2026年初否决的内容类似。据报道，这场造势活动预计将于2027年1月纽约州议会重返奥尔巴尼以及霍楚尔今年秋季的连任竞选活动前展开。
在接受福克斯5纽约台采访时，曼达尼多次拒绝回答有关这场潜在竞选活动的问题，随后仅表示相关讨论只会在11月选举后进行。
当被问及是否就报道所称的这场竞选活动与霍楚尔沟通过时，曼达尼没有直接回答，反而借此机会吹嘘他们通过政策举措为纽约市民新增了2000个免费托儿席位。

“州长和我一直保持沟通，坦率地说，我很感谢她的合作，因为如果没有州长，我们就无法携手宣布已有超过5000名纽约市民申请这2000个免费托儿席位，”他说。“我对此感到非常兴奋，而且我们还将把名额扩大到1.2万个，后续还有更多工作要推进。”
随后记者追问曼达尼，美国民主社会主义者是否会在今年秋季加入这场潜在的竞选活动，但他再次没有直接回答，称自己的重点仍放在当下。

“我现在的关注点是当下，也就是8月，确保我们所做的一切都能在热浪中保障纽约市民的安全，并为新学年做好准备，”曼达尼说。“很多关于11月之后的讨论，我认为都应该留到11月之后再进行。”
“所以你不打算在11月选举前发起向富人征税的竞选活动？”记者问道。
“我和州长以及我的团队目前讨论的都是当下的事情，之后总会有时间讨论那些后续的话题，”曼达尼说道。

据报道，这场竞选活动将重启曼达尼此前提出的通过增税填补该市数十亿美元预算缺口的提案，而霍楚尔此前已否决了该方案。曼达尼此前的计划包括将年收入100万美元及以上申报者的个人所得税税率上调，他预计此举每年可带来约30亿美元的收入，同时还将提高企业税率。
作为替代方案，霍楚尔和曼达尼共同推动了美国首个第二套房税，即对某些高价值第二套房征收年度附加费，该法案于2026年5月获得通过。州和市政府官员预计，这项措施每年可带来约5亿美元的收入。

曼达尼还表示，他在2026年5月提出的行政预算填补了其政府所称的120亿美元遗留预算缺口，他将此归功于大幅节省开支、新增投资、与奥尔巴尼方面的合作以及包括第二套房税在内的新税收收入。
曼达尼的办公室没有立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

New York City democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani repeatedly sidestepped questions Thursday about reported plans to launch a public pressure campaign this fall pushing tax hikes on wealthy New Yorkers and corporations.
Mamdani reportedly plans to build public support after Labor Day for similar proposals that Gov. Kathy Hochul previously rejected in early 2026. The reported push is expected ahead of the New York Legislature’s return to Albany in January 2027 and Hochul’s re-election campaign this fall, according to The New York Post.
During an interview with Fox 5 New York, Mamdani repeatedly declined to answer questions about the potential campaign before later saying such discussions would only come after the November election.
Asked whether he had spoken with Hochul about the reported campaign, Mamdani did not answer directly, instead using the opportunity to tout the opening of 2,000 free child care seats for New Yorkers through their policy efforts.

“The governor and I are in constant communication and, frankly, I appreciate her partnership because if it wasn’t for the governor, then we wouldn’t have been able to stand together to announce that we had more than 5,000 New Yorkers come forward to apply for these 2,000 free child care seats,” he said. “And I’m so excited about that, and the fact that we’re going to expand to 12,000, and the work that’s still to come.”
The reporter then pressed Mamdani on whether the Democratic Socialists of America would join the potential campaign this fall, but he again declined to answer directly, saying his focus remains on the present.

“My focus right now is where we are, which is August, and ensuring that everything that we’re doing is keeping New Yorkers safe amidst a heat wave and preparing for the school year,” Mamdani said. “A lot of the conversation about what comes after November, I think, is a conversation for what comes after November.”
“So you don’t plan to launch a campaign to tax the rich before the November election?” the reporter asked.
“The conversations I’ve been having with the governor and with my team are about the here and now and there will always be time for the conversations that come after that,” Mamdani said.

The reported campaign would revive a previous push by Mamdani to close the city’s multibillion-dollar budget gap through tax increases, a proposal Hochul previously rejected. Mamdani’s earlier plan called for raising the city’s personal income tax rate on filers earning $1 million or more, a move he projected could generate roughly $3 billion annually, while also increasing corporate tax rates.
As an alternative, Hochul and Mamdani jointly advanced the state’s first pied-à-terre tax, an annual surcharge on certain high-value second homes, which passed in May 2026. State and city officials have projected the measure could raise about $500 million annually.

Mamdani also said his May 2026 executive budget closed what his administration described as an inherited $12 billion budget gap, crediting aggressive savings, new investments, his partnership with Albany and new tax revenue, including the pied-à-terre tax.
Mamdani’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
