‘Progressive power rises in NYC’: Bernie Sanders, AOC back Zohran Mamdani for mayor amid heated race

US Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez publicly endorsed Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor at a rally on Sunday. Their backing signals strong progressive support for Mamdani, who faces a tough contest against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, now running as an independent. The endorsement event drew large crowds as Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez praised Mamdani’s grassroots campaign focused on housing, workers’ rights, and social justice. Meanwhile, Republican President Donald Trump criticised Mamdani, labeling him a ‘communist’ and suggesting he might send the National Guard to NYC if Mamdani wins.
