New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani struggles to define 'working class'
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani struggled to define 'working class' during a New York Times interview, stating it includes those who work to afford basic needs but later cited a $1 million annual income threshold as a dividing line. Journalist Lulu Garcia-Navarro questioned the broadness of his definition, which could group a janitor with a lawyer, prompting Mamdani to deflect by emphasizing New Yorkers' desire for a 'good life.'
