U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries on Friday said Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani needs to reach out to a “broader electorate” to help earn his pivotal endorsement in the November general election. The Democrat House minority leader praised Mamdani for his thumping primary win over ex-Gov.

New York, NY – A new HarrisX poll finds the 2025 New York City mayoral general election shaping up as a close contest, with Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani running neck-and-neck with former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in a four-way race — while outperforming Mayor Eric Adams in head-to-head matchups.

In a highly polarized race, though, endorsements may have limited impacts. And there’s often a question of whether something that sounds like a stamp of approval really is a full-throated endorsement.
