Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said he expected more Democratic leaders to endorse his opponent for mayor of New York City, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, before Election Day.
At an annual fund-raiser in Iowa, the Maryland Democrat said he supported Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City and said people were sick of “spineless politics.”
Senator Chris Van Hollen isn’t alone in suggesting that it is time for the national Democrats to get behind Zohran Mamdani, but many party leaders have not.
Democrats have been slow to embrace Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist who won New York City’s mayoral primary. Many, especially in New York, still are.
Zohran Mamdani has begun to receive some more explicit endorsements from Democrats for his bid for New York City mayor as the race moves into the final fall stretch.
