Bill de Blasio endorses Mamdani for NYC mayor

De Blasio praised Mamdani's progressive platform, highlighting rent freezes and tax reforms, and noted Mamdani's ability to connect with voters on everyday economic issues.

  • On Tuesday, former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio endorsed Zohran Mamdani, promoting the pick in a New York Daily News op-ed and television appearances.
  • Bill de Blasio argued that Zohran Mamdani's focus on affordable housing and rent-freeze proposals, free child care programs, and city-run grocery stores reflects achievable policies, noting, `My administration delivered a rent freeze for rent-stabilized apartments three times... It’s a matter of political will.`
  • De Blasio added in media remarks that his administration froze rent for rent-stabilized apartments three times, saying, `It’s not a question of possibility — it’s a matter of political will`.
  • The endorsement prompted immediate partisan pushback as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer have not endorsed Mamdani, while Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa called Mamdani 'de Blasio 2.0' and warned voters.
  • The state legislator who won the primary, Zohran Mamdani, will appear on the November ballot against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, with current polling showing him leading in a fractured 5-way contest and poised to be the city's second-youngest mayor if elected.
