Democrats Demand Leaders Back Zohran Mamdani: “Time to Listen to Voters”
While Zohran Mamdani secured the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor, a surprising lack of support from high-ranking Democrats has emerged. Despite Mamdani’s strong campaign efforts and backing from some elected officials, prominent figures like Governor Kathy Hochul and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have remained silent on the endorsement. This absence of support is especially puzzling given Mamdani’s grassroots campaign and the broader Democratic voter enthusiasm for his candidacy. As Bernie Sanders highlighted at a rally, the failure of these leaders to unite behind the Democratic nominee raises questions about the party’s commitment and its ability to effectively counter opponents.
