Some of those who supported Mamdani said they felt their contributions could forecast a rise in a larger network of Muslim Americans fundraising in national politics.

Zohran Mamdani held a high-profile meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as he seeks the Democratic leader's endorsement for mayor.

Mamdani’s trouncing of Cuomo marked the biggest national victory for lefties since Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won her first election in an upset over entrenched Democratic Rep. Joe Crowley in 2018, Smith said.

Could they be real? New York City residents who support Donald Trump, hero of the modern right,and Zohran Mamdani, great hope of the progressive left?

The poll results emerge as Cuomo relaunched his campaign as an independent following his primary defeat by Mamdani.

AOC, who loudly backed Mamdani during the primary, said she was eager for people in DC to meet her fellow lefty firebrand face-to- face to hear his plan for NYC.

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani was listening to a reporter's question at the end of an endorsement event when the band's music drowned out the question and an aide grabbed his arm to pull him away.

Mr. Mamdani, a state assemblyman and the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, is taking on a small handful of more experienced campaign hands.

The country's largest health care union, 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, has endorsed Democratic mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, reversing its previous endorsement of Andrew Cuomo even after the former governor officially relaunched his campaign this week.
