House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries to endorse Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor
- Shortly, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will endorse Zohran Mamdani, Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, after staying on the sidelines despite Mamdani beating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Politico reports.
- The contentious campaign featured Cuomo targeting Zohran Mamdani's religion and a Knicks cease-and-desist, while some Democrats withheld endorsements after Mamdani refused to denounce the phrase `globalize the intifada` in a The Bulwark interview.
- Key endorsements have come from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, U.S. Representative, Nydia Velázquez, U.S. Representative, Adriano Espaillat, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Gov. Antonio Delgado, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand have withheld support.
- Shortly before early voting begins on Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorses Zohran Mamdani, whose lead over Andrew Cuomo, independent mayoral candidate, could grow in the campaign's final phase.
- Current Mayor Eric Adams endorsed Andrew Cuomo earlier this week despite months of sharp words between them; Cuomo resigned after a 2021 Letitia James report and faced condemnation for remarks during a Sid Rosenberg interview.
