Rep. Adriano Espaillat endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor in a setback for Andrew Cuomo, who previously received the influential congressman's support in the Democratic primary.
Mamdani, NYC's Democratic mayoral nominee, is using momentum from his primary win to capture the hearts and minds of Black and Latino voters.
Mamdani’s trouncing of Cuomo marked the biggest national victory for lefties since Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her first election in an upset over entrenched Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in 2018, Smith said.
Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) declared his support for New York state Rep. Zohran Mamdani, the socialist victor of New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. The latest high-profile endorsement of Mamdani comes as other top New York Democrats have stayed away from endorsements in the race.
