Mayor Zohran Mamdani held a town hall focused on bus services, inviting the Democratic Socialists of America to participate, which sparked controversy among watchdog groups worried about political influence in government events. The presence of the D.S.A. at a city-sponsored function has raised questions about the separation of political activities from official duties.
