Rep. Espaillat Endorses Mamdani in NYC Mayoral Race
Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and New York State Assembly member, has gained significant momentum in the 2025 New York City mayoral race, securing key endorsements including from Rep. Adriano Espaillat, a powerful Latino leader who had previously backed Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani, who defeated Cuomo in the Democratic primary, has also earned the support of several influential unions such as the United Federation of Teachers, Hotel Trades Council, and SEIU 32BJ. Despite his growing backing among progressive and labor groups, Mamdani faces hesitancy from establishment Democrats like Governor Kathy Hochul, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, reflecting internal party divisions over his progressive platform, which includes rent freezes and city-owned grocery stores. A recent poll shows Mamdani leading with 36 percent support against Cuomo's 27 percent and Mayor Eric Adams' 14 percent, though Adams and Cuomo continue to compete in the general election, with Adams running as an independent after dropping out of the Democratic primary. The mayoral race highlights a broader struggle within the Democratic Party between progressive insurgents and centrist figures, with Mamdani representing a potential shift toward more left-wing policies in New York City governance.
