At his campaign launch Thursday, Mayor Eric Adams had some tough words about the man coming for his job, presumptive Democratic challenger Zohran Mamdani. NBC New York’s Andrew Siff caught up with Mamdani to get his reaction to what his critics have been saying since his surprising primary performance.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate in the upcoming New York City mayoral race, denounced President Donald Trump’s threat to arrest him over his pledge to push back on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, calling the President's comments “an attack on our democracy” and “intimidation.”
