Brad Lander, the progressive comptroller, has been instrumental in Zohran Mamdani's campaign success through their cross-endorsement and collaborative efforts against Andrew Cuomo. Despite initially struggling in the early stages, Lander's targeted ads and robocalls effectively engaged key voter demographics. As election returns showed a consistent lead for Mamdani, Lander's confidence in his success grew, culminating in an energetic Election Night celebration where the mood shifted to victory after Cuomo's concession. This alliance may indicate future roles for Lander in a Mamdani administration.
First, we had a wonderful Election Night party in Brooklyn with a few hundred people and a ton of cameras and obviously my family, my loved ones, my kick-ass campaign team, so many volunteers.
I mean, it was as the same day numbers were continuing in the pattern from the early voting. The early vote was, I guess, about 40 percent of the vote.
