""relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy." "Together, along with Mark Levine and Jumaane Williams, they won the nominations for Mayor, Comptroller and Public Advocate in a free and fair election. In that spirit, I support him and the entire citywide Democratic ticket in the general election,""
"But Jeffries's Senate counterpart, Chuck Schumer, has continued to hold off from endorsing his party's nominee for mayor, and there are no signs that the Senate minority leader will change course with less than a week to go before Election Day. On Wednesday, CNN's Manu Raju asked Schumer if he intended to vote for Mamdani in Tuesday's election. "Look, the bottom line is very simple. I have a good relationship with him, and we're continuing to talk," he responded. It was a marked improvement from the previous day when Schumer walked away at the end of his press conference and appeared to ignore Raju shouting the same question."
Hakeem Jeffries publicly endorsed Zohran Mamdani, praising his focus on affordability and his commitment to serve all New Yorkers, including those who oppose him. Jeffries noted that Mamdani, Mark Levine and Jumaane Williams won their Democratic nominations and pledged support for the full citywide Democratic ticket in the general election. Chuck Schumer has not endorsed Mamdani and showed no sign of changing course with under a week to go before Election Day. Schumer said he has a good relationship with Mamdani and that they are continuing to talk. Schumer previously referenced joint work on taxi driver debt relief and opposing a fracked gas plant in Astoria.
