Ocasio-Cortez Endorses Zohran Mamdani for Mayor

“Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York City’s most prominent progressive leader, endorsed Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for mayor on Thursday, throwing her clout behind an upstart socialist who has galvanized young voters,” the New York Times reports.

“The endorsement represented perhaps the most significant attempt yet to push fractured progressives toward a single strategy to block former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s path back to power.”
