Van Hollen endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor, slams ‘spineless’ Dems for hesitating
Senator Van Hollen endorsed Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor, criticizing Democrats' reluctance to back the socialist candidate who leads with 46% in recent polls, urging party unity.
- Senator Chris Van Hollen publicly supported Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy for New York City mayor and criticized the party’s congressional leaders for their hesitation to publicly back his campaign.
- Mamdani's June primary win over Andrew Cuomo revealed a party divide between progressive newcomers and the established old guard, causing hesitation among leaders.
- Mamdani’s campaign platform focuses on affordable housing, municipally operated grocery stores, free childcare services, and establishing a Department of Community Safety with trained personnel visible in subway stations.
- A recent New York Times/Siena College poll indicates Mamdani holds a strong lead with 46% of support, while Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa trail with 24% and 15%, respectively; meanwhile, Van Hollen criticized the party’s hesitation to back Mamdani as an example of "spineless politics."
- Van Hollen's endorsement and calls for party unity highlight tensions within Democrats and suggest Mamdani's campaign reflects a broader challenge for the party's future direction.
