US President Donald Trump and conservative commentators have repeatedly labeled Mamdani a communist.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False. Mamdani identifies as a "democratic socialist" a distinction he has made clear in multiple interviews, for example on NBC News. Responding to Trump's accusations on NBC News, Mamdani said: "He wants to distract from what I am fighting for," which, according to Mamdani, is a better distribution of wealth. Political scientists and experts agree that the "communist" label is inaccurate. Mamdani does not advocate for state control of all industries or the abolition of private property — core tenets of communism. Stanford University professor Anna Grzymala-Busse told DW: "Mamdani is fundamentally committed to the democratic process, to listening to voters and competing in elections as a way of achieving power. He does not want to nationalize the economy. He wants to preserve democracy. He does not advocate for a single leading party. The core of communism, meanwhile, is single-party control of society and economy, with no opposition or pluralism." Grzymala-Busse also explained why the term "communist" is often used as a political weapon in the United States: "'Communism' is wielded as a weapon because during the Cold War, the Soviet Union was the enemy of the United States, and a whole rhetoric of good Americans vs. godless communists dominated. The Red Scare, the McCarthy hounding, the FBI investigations were all in the name of extirpating the enemy ideology. It’s not surprising that it telegraphs 'bad' in the eyes of many people, and is an easy way to slander anyone who might advocate for redistributive policies."

Many people, including the current New York Mayor and Democrat Eric Adams, have accused Mamdani of wanting to legalize or decriminalize sex work. Opponents have repeatedly raised the topic, warning that such policies could increase prostitution and sex trafficking in New York City.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: Misleading. Mamdani has often been vague about his position on sex work and has not always publicly emphasized his stance — sex work is also not singled out as a topic on his campaign website. When asked, he confirmed being in favor of decriminalizing sex work — but not in favor of legalizing it. In an interview on NBC New York, he said: "I have never called for the legalization of prostitution. […] My policy is to actually take on sex trafficking, to have a zero tolerance for violence against women and to follow the advice of district attorneys that we have here in New York City […] having said that, prosecuting women for prostitution is something that actually leads to less safety." On Fox 5 NY, he said, "When we look at the findings of whether it be the World Health organization or the United Nations working group on the Safety of Girls and Women, we find that decriminalization is one that actually provides the most safety for sex workers." It becomes clear that Mamdani differentiates between decriminalization and legalization. Decriminalization for him seems to mean the removal of criminal penalties for sex work between consenting adults, so no more arrests and prosecutions of sex workers and potentially their clients. Meanwhile, a full legalization and regulation of the industry would mean a much more profound change. It is also important to emphasize that Mamdani's proposal does not seek to increase prostitution and sex trafficking, but the opposite, as he says. His claims are backed by international organizations like the World Health Organization WHO and the United Nations (UN). A UN guidance paper from 2023, for example, confirms his statements and also describes the different forms and levels of decriminalization and legalization and their advantages and disadvantages. The US civil rights organization ACLU reviewed empirical research on the impacts of decriminalization and criminalization in 2020 and confirmed that criminalization "increases the risk of violence and threatens the safety of sex workers" while decriminalization "can lead to greater access to health care and improved health." The impact on trafficking remains unclear.

Some people claim on social media that Mamdani has launched the "Zetro Card — a "public banking" debit card that lets the government manage your money. 10% of profits go straight to NGOs. So… a politician starts a bank, takes your data, and funds activists with your cash."

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False. In reality, the Zetro Card, which has a name that resembles the MetroCard used for public transportation in New York City, was a campaign collectible for volunteers — not a financial product. It let people track their canvassing efforts and rewarded participation with campaign merchandise. Canvassing is a term used in politics for making direct contact with voters, most often in person or by phone. In an April video Mamdani explains: "Canvass eight times in the next eight weeks and win a limited-edition poster." So this is nothing for the general public but about collecting stamps for campaign merchandise. A September video reiterated that the card is only available at campaign events and is not a debit card or linked to any financial system.
