Overview
- Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said on Good Morning America that he has decided to keep Jessica Tisch, citing her anti-corruption work and reductions in crime citywide.
- Tisch has not confirmed whether she will remain in the role, and the NYPD pointed to her past statement that the commissioner should avoid involvement in electoral politics.
- Mamdani has not indicated that he and Tisch have reached an agreement, saying at a Wednesday news conference that he looks forward to discussing the question with her.
- The New York Post reported that Tisch had not received a formal offer as of Wednesday, while prominent figures and police union voices have encouraged her to stay, according to sources.
- If Tisch declines, Mamdani is considering alternatives such as former NYPD chief Isa Abbassi for commissioner and Rodney Harrison for deputy mayor for public safety, the Post reported.
