Mamdani, Lander Cross-Endorse Each Other in NYC Mayoral Election
- On Friday, Queens Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander announced they would mutually endorse one another ahead of the Democratic mayoral primary scheduled for June 24.
- This alliance followed Thursday's debate where Mamdani and Lander jointly criticized front-runner Andrew Cuomo's record, including his 2021 resignation over sexual harassment allegations.
- Mamdani called Cuomo a 'relic of broken politics' and argued the cross-endorsement would help them topple Cuomo's campaign together in the ranked-choice voting system.
- Democratic strategist Trip Yang noted Cuomo's lead has shrunk from 80% to 60% chance of winning, highlighting that the race is growing closer and could be a 50/50 split soon.
- The endorsement strategy aims to consolidate opposition against Cuomo and improve both candidates’ chances by encouraging voters to rank them first and second before early voting begins this weekend.
