Mayor Mamdani Faces 9/11 Remembrance Pushback | New York City News

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire from 9/11 families and political heavyweights for planning to attend this week’s remembrance ceremonies, just days after he declared September 11 a Citywide Day of Remembrance and launched emergency preparedness upgrades. A viral petition urges his exclusion, citing concerns over his public positions, while former Gov. George Pataki and Mayor Rudy Giuliani have publicly opposed his presence — Giuliani calling it “offensive.” Meanwhile, President Trump won’t be attending, but VP JD Vance will, and a massive steel beam from the Twin Towers will be displayed at the White House for first responders.
