Mamdani didn't just win. He won in a landslide.
The question is whether Mamdani and the movement we have built should endorse Jeffries and Schumer.
At noon today the board of elections released the final count from last Tuesday’s Democratic Party primary election for mayor of New York.
It wasn’t close.
My any measure, it was a landslide.
A blow out.
A thrashing.
A romp.
A runaway.
A shoo-in.
He creamed Cuomo.
House Democratic Party leader and New York City Congressman Hakeem Jeffries has so far refused an endorsement of Mamdani.
So has Senate leader and New York Senator Chuck Schumer.
New York’s other senator, Kristin Gillibrand, has attacked Mamdani with scurrilous lies and racist accusations.
But the real question though isn’t whether they should endorse Mamdani.
The question is why Mamdani and the movement we have built should endorse them?
No, obviously they are more concerned about keeping status quo, rather than building the party.
