Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s nod comes after a heated debate in which Mamdani sparred with Andrew Cuomo
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed insurgent democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s closely watched mayoral race.
In the heavily Democratic city, all eyes have been on the looming party primary for the mayoral candidate on 24 June, which has largely settled into a two-way fight between the outsider Mamdani and former New York governor Andrew Cuomo.
