Bronx/Queens Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tells the New York Times she’s endorsing progressive state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for mayor, which is kind of a big deal for the surging liberal ahead of the June 24th Dem primary in which disgraced former Gov Andrew Cuomo once had a pretty prohibitive lead in polling. Libs hope to avoid a repeat of the crowded 2021 field that let idiot now-Mayor Eric Adams float to the top of a pond of lefties who couldn’t consolidate.
“Assemblymember Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “In the final stretch of the race, we need to get very real about that.”
