New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> and Squad leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., teamed up to release an infomercial encouraging all New York parents, regardless of immigration status, to sign their children up for free preschool.<\/p>\n

In an X post, Mamdani framed it as part of the “fight for universal childcare.”<\/p>\n

In the video, which was delivered entirely in Spanish, Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> emphasized that “any New York City parent, regardless of your occupation, income or immigration status, is eligible to sign their child up.”<\/p>\n

She added that “we\u2019ve made the application process easy, no matter who you are.”<\/p>\n

The congresswoman, who is considered one of the leading figures of the Democratic Party<\/a> and a prospective 2028 presidential contender, said that “free childcare is one of the most important ways we can make our city more affordable for everyone.”<\/p>\n

She touted a registration line available in over 200 languages, saying, “No family should be shut out from our programs just because of the language they speak.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani asserted that “for too long, New York City<\/a> families have been crushed by the cost of childcare, paying as much as $26,000 per child every single year.”<\/p>\n

“That is not sustainable, it is not fair, and it is not inevitable,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We have the power to do something different,” Mamdani continued, adding, “When you apply before the deadline \u2026 your child will be guaranteed a 3K or Pre-K placement.”<\/p>\n

In the video caption, Mamdani quipped, “My Spanish is\u2026 not very good. But the fight for universal childcare? That\u2019s very good.”<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani’s offices did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mamdani has recently taken criticism, including from CNN host Fareed Zakaria<\/a>, for failing to deliver on grand promises to residents.<\/p>\n

“New York is really a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling<\/a> to confront. Blue cities are out of control. Promising more, spending more, delivering less and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day,” Zakaria said.<\/p>\n

“Zohran Mamdani<\/a> ran on a promise to make New York affordable,” the host went on. “Last week, he unveiled a budget that is, in a word, unaffordable. New York has been fiscally profligate for so long that the headline number, $127 billion, produces little shock. But for perspective, these are similar to the annual expenditures of a mid-sized nation with all the expenses a country requires, like Greece or Thailand, devoted to governing one city.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
