NYC Mayoral Hopeful Boycotts Town Hall Over Kimmel Suspension, Citing 'Blatant Double Standard

New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani has withdrawn from an upcoming WABC town hall to protest Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, citing the incident as a reason for his boycott. The event, which was previously scheduled to feature Mamdani and ABC host Jimmy Kimmel, sparked controversy after Kimmel faced backlash on social media for making comments about New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. Mamdani has chosen not to participate in the town hall to express his disapproval of the suspension.
