Exclusive | NYC Socialists blast 'machine Dems' backing Cuomo as they push Zohran Mamdani to older, minority voters
Briefly

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is strategizing to rally support for socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani against mayoral front-runner Andrew Cuomo. Key tactics include targeting older, non-white, working-class voters and appealing to liberals disillusioned by Trump. The DSA criticized establishment Democrats, emphasizing their ties to billionaires and AIPAC, and accusing them of fearing Mamdani's candidacy. Mamdani has received endorsements from influential progressives like Jamaal Bowman and seeks to elevate fellow candidate Adrienne Adams, who is gaining traction despite limited resources. This political maneuvering sets the stage for a contentious primary race on June 24.
