Ocasio-Cortez hosts breakfast to support NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani

WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 16 – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a strategy breakfast to help progressive nominee Zohran Mamdani build support among hesitant Democratic leaders ahead of the November mayoral race.

  • Wednesday morning, Mamdani met with Democratic members of Congress in Washington to address concerns about his rise in the party, as several lawmakers remain cautious.
  • Emerging from a June primary shock, the state lawmaker aimed to allay concerns, prompting the meeting’s purpose.
  • Some of Mamdani’s critics skipped the two-hour meeting even as others attended, while Rep. Josh Gottheimer was among the few critics present, according to Politico.
  • Following the meeting, Velázquez and Nadler voiced optimism about growing support, while Nadler said he believes Mamdani won over some hesitant Democrats.
  • Politico reported Jeffries is holding off on endorsement, and ongoing tensions among Democrats highlight lingering intra-party divides.
