Councilmember Ossé was arrested during a protest against deed theft, raising concerns about police actions and the impact on Black homeowners.
Ossé enters the picture as Mamdani is trying to assuage some Democrats' concerns about his mayoral campaign against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who's running as an independent. Ossé, 27, has a ubiquitous social media presence that Mamdani has cited as a major influence. Any effort by Ossé to unseat Jeffries - one of the most powerful Democrats in the nation - likely would deepen the divide within the Democratic Party over age and ideology.
