In a significant development in the New York City mayoral race, former Vice President Kamala Harris has officially endorsed Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani, calling him part of a new class of rising stars. Despite her support, some Democrats, including influential party figures, remain hesitant to fully back Mamdani, with criticisms suggesting that their reluctance stems from his stance on Israel and concerns about party unity. Meanwhile, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has also thrown her support behind Mamdani, triggering a response from former President Trump who threatens to pull funding from the city following her endorsement. This divergence in support showcases the internal strife within the Democratic Party as they navigate their positions ahead of the election.
