Former VP Harris endorses Mamdani for NYC Mayor as some Democrats stay silent

by The editor••Posted inNPR

New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani attends a news conference in the Bronx where he was endorsed by Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie on September 17, 2025 in New York City. The endorsement from a significant Bronx politician comes after New York Governor Kathy Hochul wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times declaring her support for Mamdani.

Zohran Mamdani is leading in the polls in the NYC Mayor’s race. Kamala Harris says he’s earned Democratic backing, but some party leaders have been slow to endorse the Democratic-Socialist candidate.
