In a unique campaign move, Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani asked his supporters to donate to City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams' campaign to help block front-runner Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming Democratic primary. With a critical fundraising deadline approaching, Mamdani emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts to defeat Cuomo, framing the donation as beneficial for all candidates involved. Mamdani, aligned with the New York Working Families Party, is leveraging the city's ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters to support multiple candidates, to strategize against Cuomo.
I'm actually asking you to donate to another candidate running for mayor, Mamdani said in the video. Her name is Adrienne Adams. She's the speaker of the City Council.
Mamdani framed the request as a way to strengthen his, Speaker Adams's, and other competitors' efforts to defeat Cuomo next month.
