Digest more
The late endorsement by the powerful Brooklyn congressman marks a significant shift of mainstream Democrats corralling around Mamdani.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries told MSNBC's Chris Hayes last night that he is considering officially endorsing Zohran Mamdani for New York City Mayor now that Mamdani is talking about keeping NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch in her position: CHRIS HAYES: Final question for you.
Democratic commentator Kaivan Shroff said endorsing Zohran Mamdani now would show "weakness" as the New York City mayoral candidate leads in the latest Fox News poll by 21 points.
Zohran Mamdani’s opponents, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, denied accusations that they are stoking Islamophobia with their rhetoric and actions.
One day before early voting begins in the New York mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani condemned the “racist, baseless” attacks he’s faced in recent days, saying the attacks exemplify the islamophobia Muslims all over New York face every day.
