Mamdani under fire after claiming preexisting tipping law boosted delivery tips
TL;DR
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing backlash after claiming a $104 million uptick in delivery tips resulted from changes to tipping in Uber Eats and DoorDash, a reform critics say was enacted before his term by the City Council and simply enforced during his administration. Supporters say the city is enforcing laws to put money back in workers' pockets; conservatives contend residents are paying higher costs and double-paying tips, accusing Mamdani of taking credit for work begun prior to his tenure.
