Cory Booker refrained from endorsing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani during an interview. He expressed that the differences in America are weaker than the connections we share. Booker emphasized the need for pragmatic governance rather than divisive politics. He stated a commitment to his own state's political challenges and endorsing local candidates rather than engaging in New York's political landscape. Notably, Mamdani, who won the primary, lacks endorsements from significant Democratic figures amidst controversy over his statements on Israel and antisemitism.
"The lines that divide us in America are not nearly as strong as the ties that bind us. Big corporations, people want to keep our eyes on the screen, want to pit us against each other and tell us how much we should hate each other."
"I have learned a long time ago: Let New York politics be New York politics. We've got enough challenges in Jersey. I got a governor's race. I'm supporting Mikie Sherrill."
