Zohran Mamdani Leads Major Rally With Sanders, AOC for 'New York Is Not For Sale' Campaign

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, held a major rally at Forest Hills Stadium with over 10,000 supporters, featuring prominent figures like Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The rally emphasized Mamdani's progressive platform, including freezing rents, making public transportation free, and expanding universal childcare, with strong endorsements from New York state leaders such as Governor Kathy Hochul. Mamdani framed the election as a battle against President Donald Trump and the political establishment, rallying for a city that prioritizes working-class families over billionaires. Despite opposition funded by wealthy New Yorkers and political action committees, Mamdani's support has surged, moving from 1% in early polls to a competitive standing just days before the election. The event highlighted solidarity among progressive politicians and activists, with calls to mobilize voters to ensure a transformative change in New York's leadership. Mamdani's campaign, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, gained a significant boost with the endorsement of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries ahead of the election.
