Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner in the race for mayor of America's most populous city, on Thursday landed the endorsement of one of New York City's most influential politicians.
Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, arguably the city's most powerful Latino leader, is backing Mamdani, who, if elected in November, would become New York City's first Muslim mayor.
"We're past the primary, and the people of New York City have spoken," Epsaillat said Thursday. "If there is a common denominator in every decision that I've made since I began to represent this district, in terms of supporting someone, it’s called the Democratic Party."
...
And Espaillat, who backed Adams in the mayor's 2021 election, was thought to have grown frustrated with the mayor's working relationship with Trump on immigration enforcement.
Adams' poll numbers were sinking even before he was indicted last year on five counts, which accused the mayor of bribery and fraud as part of an alleged "long-running" scheme to personally profit from contacts with foreign officials.
The mayor made repeated overtures to Trump and the Justice Department earlier this year dismissed the corruption charges, so Adams could potentially work with the Trump administration on its illegal immigration crackdown.
News of Espaillat's endorsement of Mamdani was first reported by New York Times.
Mamdani surged to a primary victory thanks to an energetic campaign that put a major focus on affordability and New York City's high cost of living.
Mamdani made smart use of social media platforms, including TikTok, as he engaged low-propensity voters. He proposed eliminating fares to ride New York City's vast bus system, making CUNY (City University of New York) "tuition-free," freezing rents on municipal housing, offering "free childcare" for children up to age 5, and setting up government-run grocery stores.

Hey New Yorkers, New Yorker Latinos
You’ve been had
way past time to leave the Democratic Party. They don’t give a rats behind about you and never have
Zohran Mamdani secures United Federation of Teachers (UFT) endorsement
New York is past being saved from this horror. The GOP should relish holding Gotham up as an example of leftist evil while fighting it in all swing states. The residents of blue states can always seek refuge in North Korea.
Weird that the city’s most powerful Latino Leader is a Jew killer and supporter of Islamic Terrorism. The boy don’t sound like a good family Catholic to me.
Some people have to discover things for themselves. The more we disparage ZM, the more appeal he will have as forbidden fruit.
We need a plan to insulate ourselves from the fallout. We’re the ones who will pay the freight otherwise. 1975: Ford to NYC “Drop dead”. That didn’t work.

This is communism not socialism.
NYC is on the verge of electing a 33 year old communist with no work or executive experience who is promising to make tons of things free, all paid for by people who work for a living, by raising taxes on working people in a City that already has the highest tax rate in the country and has the most people leaving than anywhere else in the country . Oh yes he is also an anti-semite in a City with the most Jews outside of Israel.
All because 5% of Dem voters voted for him and he got the Dem line on the ballot. People like
@RepJerryNadler @NydiaVelazquez
endorsed him because he got the line. Good comrades.
There is nothing about any of this that makes any sense.
We must continue to resist.

Remember the GPS analyst on X who posted that Mamdani visited obama’s residence in DC twice in the weeks before the election
Meetings at which devices associated with IRGC operatives were also present
Mamdani making NY one of the largest caliphates in the US is on schedule. And the sheeple are following as if their zombies.
May I add to that 960,000 Jewish people live in New York City.
A good time to let go of the self-destructive acts of voting Dem time after time.
Especially to avoid the worldwide intifada the candidate refuses to repudiate.
Mamdani should brush up on his phony Spanish accent and hold some Latino foods as he speaks.
They said Gavin Newsom slipped into some phony southern accent words when he spoke in South Carolina. Good ol’ boy that he is.
More for a sequel to Why Americans Hate Politics.
I have thought that for a long time
A long, long time
Seattle is over , and other Dem hellholes too, but none are as important as NYC.
Fed troops will have to be sent to NYC to keep people safe.
