Gillibrand apologizes to Mamdani over 'jihad' remark

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has reportedly apologized to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over saying he had referred to “global jihad” in the past.

A readout that Politico obtained said Mamdani and Gillibrand talked Monday night on a call amid voting on President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

“Gillibrand apologized for mischaracterizing Mamdani’s record and for her tone on the call,” stated the readout, according to Politico.
