‘Oh My Goodness!': Watch Elizabeth Warren Shut Down CNBC Host's Empty Mamdani Threats
HuffPost
The Massachusetts senator reminded David Faber how exactly Mamdani won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sparred with CNBC’s David Faber on Monday after the host warned about Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s economic agenda: a push for affordable living in the Big Apple paid for by taxes on the rich.
Warren — who is now campaigning on behalf of the millennial democratic socialist — hit back at Faber after he argued that New York “competes with other cities,” thus raising taxes on the city’s wealthiest residents “will simply drive them” and their businesses elsewhere.
“The issue is affordability,” Warren remarked. “Do you know how many working families are chased out of New York City every day because they can’t afford housing, they can’t afford groceries, they can’t afford child care?”
She continued, “What Zohran is saying is, ’I want people to be able to afford to live in New York City. That’s what keeps it a vibrant city. That’s what makes people want to live here.”
Faber swiftly responded.
