“Every seat matters, every race matters, and who is mayor of New York is crucial,” Nadler said. “New York City needs a leader who won’t give Trump an inch, who won’t flinch or bargain away our rights.”
“With Zohran Mamdani as mayor, we’ll have a leader who will defend our hospitals, our schools, and our neighbors from Trump’s devastating policies. With the right mayor, with the right leadership, we can blunt Trump’s attacks, protect our most vulnerable, and build a city where prosperity is shared and no one is left behind.”

Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Dan Goldman (D-NY), Ritchie Torres (D-NY), and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) avoided offering an endorsement since Mamdani won the primary. Goldman and Torres endorsed candidates who lost to Mamdani.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Nydia Margarita Velázquez (D-NY) endorsed Mamdani.
