“One of the most exciting things, frankly, is that now that I am in office, it means we’re actually able to deliver,” he said.

Mamdani promises 2,000 two-year-old slots in year one in high-need areas, which he did not identify. According to Mamdani, “2-Care” would expand to 12,000 slots in year 2 and roughly 36,000 slots by year 4. While Hochul committed $1.7 billion per year for the first two years of “2-Care,” she did not say where the money would come from. She did specify, however, that the source would not be taxing the rich.

Mamdani, who lobbied to fund the plan with tax increases, told Russo the governor’s refusal to raise taxes would not impact the rollout of universal child care in New York.
