Wednesday, Oct. 1: NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani

'The View' co-hosts weigh in after the American government shut down at midnight Tuesday following a last-ditch funding vote failing in the Senate.
Zohran Mamdani, Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, discusses what inspired his grassroots campaign, his political endorsements and he responds to the president’s claims that he is a communist.
Then, he responds to questions on his stance on Israel and the war in Gaza: "I condemn Hamas... My belief in a universality in international law is also the same set of beliefs that led me to describe what's happening in Gaza as a genocide."
Mamdani discusses walking back his prior call to defund the police, his recent conversations with NYPD officers and his proposal for a Department of Community Safety.
