Eyewitness News ABC7NY Mamdani thanks Trump, Republicans for drawing attention to emergency snow shoveler program

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said 1,400 New Yorkers signed up to join the city’s emergency shoveling program on Tuesday and thanked President Donald Trump and Republicans for making it a popular talking point, further publicizing the effort.

Trump brought up the city’s shoveling program during the State of the Union, noting it requires “two forms of ID” from temporary snow shovelers.

Trump compared the identification required to shovel snow to legislation that he supports requiring people to furnish photo identification in order to vote in national elections.

Mamdani has noted that the city government requires short-term snow shovelers to provide two forms of ID because federal law requires it.
