Ocasio-Cortez cited Mamdani's success in organizing a coalition of working-class New Yorkers as vital for a progressive victory. Mamdani, a millennial and Democratic Socialist, pledges significant reforms including rent freezes, free childcare, and affordable grocery options. Polling indicates a recent surge for Mamdani, positioning him as a strong contender in the approaching primary, where he is in second place amidst mounting criticism of Cuomo's controversial campaign financing and past administration issues.
