New York Democratic Representative Tom Suozzi has endorsed former New York Governor and independent candidate for New York City mayor Andrew Cuomo over Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani.
Newsweek reached out to Mamdani's campaign via email on Wednesday for comment.
Why It Matters
With just days until the city's mayoral election on November 4, numerous polls show Mamdani, a Democratic socialist and first-time citywide candidate, holding a notable lead over his rivals, Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa.
The race has garnered national attention as analysts say the outcome could likely influence policy priorities on critical issues like affordability and crime, to the city's relationship with President Donald Trump, along with the national Democratic Party.
