The New York Post called out<\/a> Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/strong> Saturday for breaking the dress code when kicking off the city\u2019s summer pool season.<\/p>\n Mamdani wore his trademarked suit, complete with socks and shoes, to join New Yorkers making a splash at the Thomas Jefferson Pool in East Harlem.<\/p>\n Mamdani was asked by Katie Honan<\/strong> of The City Reporter in March if he\u2019d carry on the tradition of New York mayors jumping into a city pool on opening day. Mayor Michael Bloomberg<\/strong> was the last participant, according to the Post.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m gonna be honest, I may do it. I may commit to it,\u201d Mamdani said then, and officially confirmed this week that he\u2019d make the leap.<\/p>\n The Post noted that Mamdani \u201cbroke the rules in the process, which requires all swimmers to wear bathing suits in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAll swimmers are required to wear bathing suits in Big Apple public pools, and males need to have mesh lining in their trunks \u2014 unless they prefer Speedos, which are also allowed,\u201d the report added. \u201cThe rules are to maintain healthy chemical levels in the pools, according to the Parks Department.\u201d<\/p>\n Twelve-year-old Mila Mader<\/strong> told the Post, \u201cIt was so fun. I didn\u2019t think he would do it! And then he shook my hand. That felt amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI told my brother, Leo, I was like, \u2018Oh my God, the mayor shook my hand.\u2019 He shook my brother\u2019s hands, too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The report noted, \u201cIt\u2019s not the first time Mamdani got wet in a business suit.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe mayor jumped into the waves at Coney Island for the annual Polar Bear Club Plunge while on the campaign trail last year as part of a gimmick in which he promised voters he would freeze rent,\u201d the story said. \u201cThe New York City Rent Guidelines Board approved his promise Thursday \u2014 freezing both one-year and two-year leases for the Big Apple\u2019s roughly 1 million rent-stabilized units.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Watch the clip above via X.<\/p>\n The post NY Post Calls Out Mayor Mamdani For Wearing a Suit During Playful Pool Stunt<\/a> first appeared on Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Screenshot The New York Post called out Mayor Zohran Mamdani Saturday for breaking the dress code when kicking…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":897358,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,34485,363560,405,403,27240,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,5301],"class_list":["post-897357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-america","tag-east-harlem","tag-mayor-michael-bloomberg","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-post","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116824367950039177","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897357","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897357"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897357\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897357"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897357"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
