Mamdani is backing three House hopefuls as progressives test their strength against establishment Democrats in closely watched New York primary races.
- On Monday, New York congressional candidates made final appeals before Tuesday's primary election, testing whether progressive challengers can reshape the city's Democratic delegation.
