Hakeem Jeffries endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor after months of delay
"Zohran Mamdani has 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,"
"So-called 'Leader' Hakeem Jeffries has officially surrendered to Zohran Mamdani and the socialist mob now running the Democrat Party,"
"Their far-left takeover has torched Democrats' hopes of retaking the House and turned their agenda into pure electoral poison,"
"a free and fair election"
Jeffries delayed endorsing Mamdani because of principled policy disagreements and to protect members in battleground districts. He ultimately endorsed Mamdani after Mamdani won the Democratic nomination and described the contest as "a free and fair election." Jeffries urged party unity against an "existential" threat from President Trump and noted Mamdani's focus on the affordability crisis and commitment to all New Yorkers. Progressives warned that a last-minute endorsement may not repair ties with the left. Several centrist New York House Democrats declined to endorse because of Mamdani's left-wing positions, and Republican critics called the outcome a far-left takeover.
