Zohran joined Congresswoman Clarke and Congressman Jeffries today to meet with Black clergy leaders from across central Brooklyn, Dora Pekec, a spokesperson for Mamdani's campaign, told CNN in a statement. They engaged in a wide-ranging discussion on a number of issues including the urgent affordability crisis and the exodus of Black New Yorkers from the five boroughs and Zohran shared his agenda to make sure every New Yorker can afford to continue to call this city home and live a life of dignity.

The Voting Rights Act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, aiming to protect the right to vote and combat voter suppression efforts, especially against Black voters.

Mamdani's campaign could show us a different side of politics in New York that speaks to Black voters based on their material needs, rather than a monolithic 'Black vote.'

President Trump's approval rating among Black Americans has decreased significantly, with disapproval rising from 44% at the start of his term to 71.5% by July.

Dawkins noted that despite Trump's flaws, his authenticity resonates with voters like him, who prioritize border security and the economy over social issues.
