Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander, the two leading progressive candidates in the race, hope their partnership will help them leverage the ranked-choice voting system to defeat Andrew M. Cuomo.

Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander — have cross endorsed each other in a last-ditch attempt to take down frontrunner Andrew Cuomo.

Zohran Mamdani courts Orthodox vote in NYC mayoral race, but rival Whitney Tilson is reminding them of Mamdani’s harsh criticisms of Israel.

A proposed flier from a super PAC supporting Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral bid featured an image of Zohran Mamdani with a thicker beard. Mr. Mamdani called the manipulation Islamophobic.

The PAC said the image was released without its consent. A Cuomo spokesperson called the picture "absurd and disrespectful."

His closing message is a scorching ad saying New York could be next after Los Angeles and his 33-year-old opponent can’t lead.

The rally will take place on the first day of early voting and one day after Mamdani cross-endorsed fellow candidate Brad Lander, but Lander’s not expected to attend. Ocasio-Cortez ranked Mamdani first and Lander third on her endorsed slate. The primary election day is June 24.

Zohran Mamdani, an Indian-origin Democrat, aims to become New York's first Muslim and Indian-American mayor, challenging Andrew Cuomo.
