Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani and City Council Member Justin Brannan for the upcoming Democratic primary. Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, is gaining momentum against frontrunner Andrew Cuomo. Sanders frames the primary as a clash between grassroots movements and corporate interests, highlighting Mamdani’s focus on issues such as affordable housing, mental health services, and a minimum wage increase. His endorsement follows that of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and signals a strong progressive push in New York City politics.
"The mayoral primary represents a fundamental choice between corporate-dominated politics and building a grassroots movement to combat oligarchy and authoritarianism."
"Mamdani is running an inspirational grassroots campaign focused on 200,000 new affordable housing units, a rent freeze, and cutting business fines."
