US EditionSen. Cory Booker refuses to endorse Zohran Mamdani
NEW YORK CITY, AUG 4 – Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic leaders hesitate to endorse far-left NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani amid concerns over his radical policies and party unity.
- During a CNN interview on Sunday, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., refused to support Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic NYC mayoral nominee, and criticized 'defund the police.'
- Facing growing skepticism, Democratic Party leaders are hesitant to support NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who advocates far-left policies including hiking property taxes and defunding the NYPD.
- Booker said `So anybody who’s saying ‘defund the police’ is wrong, and within the Democratic Party or within the nation, I will always fight that,` and noted Newark would have overwhelmingly voted for more police after George Floyd’s death.
- Meanwhile, Booker joins other Democrats like Gov. Kathy Hochul who sidestep endorsement questions, with Gottheimer calling Mamdani a 'job-killing socialist' and stating, 'You will hear no ambiguity out of my mouth.'
- On social media, Ellie A says Booker’s refusal highlights broader Democratic tensions over the party’s future amid the progressive wing’s influence.
