Mamdani seeks support from wary Democrats in Washington
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Zohran Mamdani seeks national Democratic endorsements amid ideological divides, with some leaders hesitant due to his progressive platform and controversial statements, while grassroots support grows.
- On July 16, 2025, Zohran Mamdani visited Washington, D.C., attending a breakfast organized by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as part of his effort to garner Democratic support.
- Ahead of the primary on June 24, Sen. Bernie Sanders’s early backing helped boost Mamdani's support in Washington, with Sanders endorsing him on June 17, 2025.
- Some New York Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries, skipped the breakfast, and Jeffries gave no indication he’d endorse Mamdani when pressed by reporters.
- Following the primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. I-Vt., urged Mamdani to refine his messaging on Israel, highlighting intra-party concerns.
- Later this week, Mamdani meets with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, as he faces a competitive general election against Cuomo and Adams.
