Zohran Mamdani says he is not ruling out cash reparations for Black New Yorkers, but he plans to base his position on findings from a New York City commission. In an interview, Mamdani was asked about the possibility of cash reparations and responded that he will wait for the commission’s results rather than rule the option out. The comments indicate that his stance remains conditional, pending further review or recommendations from the city body studying reparations-related issues. The reporting from Fox News and Yahoo News aligns on the central point: Mamdani does not dismiss cash payments outright and instead points to the upcoming or ongoing commission process as the deciding factor for his position. The sources do not provide additional details about the commission’s timeline, scope, or specific conclusions, nor do they state whether Mamdani supports or opposes cash reparations at this time. Overall, both accounts portray his position as awaiting official findings before reaching a final view.
