NEW YORK CITY, JUN 5 – Ocasio-Cortez backs Mamdani to unite progressives and challenge Cuomo, with polls showing Mamdani in second place at 23% support in the Democratic mayoral primary.
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani as her first choice in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary held on June 24, 2025.
