In a series of high-profile meetings in Washington, D.C., NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has garnered attention from national Democratic leaders, including Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). While some Democrats praise his campaign, expressing admiration for his platform, others remain skeptical, reflecting a division within the party over his socialist policies. Mamdani, aiming to build broader support, was endorsed by major labor unions and has been actively seeking the backing of key figures in the Democratic establishment. AOC hosted a breakfast for Mamdani, where attendees discussed strategies and objectives, but notable endorsements from party leaders have yet to materialize, leaving some supporters cautious. As Mamdani navigates these complex dynamics, he faces the challenge of uniting a fragmented Democratic base ahead of the mayoral election.
