New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has confirmed that he will continue working with political consultant Morris Katz. This decision comes despite strong opposition from members of the Democratic party and growing tension between the Mayor's office and major media companies.

紐約市長 Zohran Mamdani 已確認將繼續與政治顧問 Morris Katz 合作。儘管民主黨成員強烈反對，且市長辦公室與各大媒體公司之間的緊張局勢日益加劇，他仍做出了此決定。

The relationship between Mamdani and Katz remains strong, even though many in the party have criticized it. Morris Katz's reputation was damaged after Graham Platner’s Senate campaign failed. The Democratic Socialists of America asked their allies to stop working with Katz, claiming he was responsible for the 'catastrophic' failure of that campaign. Critics argue that Katz failed to properly check Platner's background, which led to the discovery of offensive Reddit posts, a Nazi-linked tattoo, and accusations of sexual misconduct. Furthermore, it is alleged that Katz tried to stop a former employee from reporting that Platner had emotionally abused women.

Mamdani 與 Katz 的關係依然穩固，儘管黨內許多人對此提出批評。在 Graham Platner 競選參議員失敗後，Morris Katz 的名聲受損。美國民主社會主義者要求其盟友停止與 Katz 合作，聲稱他應為該次競選的「災難性」失敗負責。批評者認為 Katz 未能妥善核查 Platner 的背景，導致隨後發現了冒犯性的 Reddit 貼文、一個與納粹相關的紋身以及性騷擾指控。此外，據稱 Katz 曾試圖阻止前員工舉報 Platner 對女性進行情感虐待。

In addition to these failures, Katz was criticized for a 2020 publication about puberty. Conservative critics condemned a note in the text where Katz suggested using personal anatomical images, although Katz later claimed this was only a joke.

除了這些失敗之外，Katz 還因 2020 年出版的一本關於青春期的著作而受到批評。保守派批評者譴責書中 Katz 建議使用個人解剖圖像的內容，儘管 Katz 隨後聲稱這僅僅是一個笑話。

At the same time, the Mamdani administration is in a conflict with ABC News. After host Sara Haines called Democratic nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier an antisemite, the Mayor's office demanded a formal on-air apology before agreeing to any future appearances. This move shows a shift toward using independent digital platforms, such as Zeteo and Breaking Points. These platforms allow progressive candidates to reach voters without the restrictions or biases often found in corporate media.

與此同時，Mamdani 政府正與 ABC News 陷入衝突。在主持人 Sara Haines稱民主黨提名人 Darializa Avila Chevalier 為反猶太主義者後，市長辦公室要求對方必須在節目中正式道歉，才同意未來的任何演出邀請。此舉顯示其正轉向使用 Zeteo 和 Breaking Points 等獨立數位平台。這些平台讓進步派候選人能夠在不受企業媒體常見限制或偏見的情況下接觸選民。

Mayor Mamdani continues to support Morris Katz while using his position to challenge the standards of mainstream news networks.

Mamdani 市長在繼續支持 Morris Katz 的同時，利用其職位挑戰主流新聞網路的標準。
