New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani spent Veterans Day on Tuesday serving veterans in the Bronx a warm meal.
It's only fitting, he later told reporters, for a future mayor whose focus is on the city's least fortunate residents.
"I wanted to ensure that on Veteran's Day, I actually got the time to sit down with veterans and hear from them. And some of the stories that I heard from men who have served this country, and given everything they could to protect this nation, is that they have often been left behind and forgotten by this same nation, by this same city," Mamdani said.
Mamdani did not attend the city's Veterans Day Parade and would not say whether he will march next year.
But the parade has been attended by every New York City mayor going back at least 50 years. From Ed Koc
