“You know, I think it's … Again, this is not, it's not in my district,” Ocasio-Cortez, who represents parts of Queens and the Bronx. seconds in the Cook Political Report, he responded. “I think it's very clear here that the most important thing is that we identify an appropriate facility for these people.

Democratic Mayor Eric Adams of New York City defended the decision to close the school, citing an impending storm with strong winds.
