The Democratic Mayorle candidate said, “I think many people who defend the carcal state defends its views and the way it feels. They are not defending its reality and are part and parcels of practices.
“Because if you really break it and ask people how many people in the prison system come out of the jail system, they went to the jail system, actually how much loss is being stopped, I think when you ask this type of questions, people do not always have clear answers.”
Mamdani said, while discussing the jail system, “What do they always want to do, ‘What are you going to do about the killers? What are you going to do about rapists?’

Mamdani is seen as a controversial candidate by many, partly due to his socialist policy proposals and heavy criticism of the state of Israel. He has refused to say whether Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state and initially refused to condemn the phrase “to make Intifada global”. However, he recently started removing himself from the phrase.
