Working Families Party Backs Mamdani for NYC Mayor | JQJO

The Working Families Party (WFP) endorsed Zohran Mamdani as its top choice for NYC mayor, aiming to consolidate progressive votes against Andrew Cuomo. Comptroller Brad Lander is their second choice, followed by three others. While polls show Cuomo leading, WFP hopes their endorsement boosts Mamdani, whose progressive platform resonates with many. The endorsement also impacts the general election; WFP plans to field a candidate if Cuomo wins the Democratic primary. AOC's endorsement remains highly anticipated.
