NYC Mayor's Race: In final push, progressive Democrats rally in Brooklyn to mount united campaign against Cuomo | amNewYork
Briefly

A rally in Brooklyn brought together key Democratic lawmakers, including State Attorney General Letitia James, to support four progressive candidates in opposition to former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Over 450 supporters attended, with the Working Families Party endorsing candidates like Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander. Speakers criticized Cuomo's past and current political connections, emphasizing his alleged corruption and scandalous behavior. James labeled Cuomo as a threat to the city, urging voters to support progressive candidates in the ranked choice voting system against him and not forget past grievances over his actions.
"We cannot have an individual who wants to dismiss the past, someone who wants to ignore the pleas of women, someone who has made money as a result of this scandal," James said.
"The crowd cheered loudest for Mamdani, the Democratic socialist who has been closing ground on Cuomo in recent polls, indicating strong support for progressive change."
