Overview
- Former UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn hosted a NYC-DSA phone bank for Zohran Mamdani and promoted it on social media, prompting a query from a senior Justice Department official about possible foreign election involvement.
- Independent rival Andrew Cuomo condemned the move, citing the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission’s finding that Labour under Corbyn committed unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination related to antisemitism.
- The antisemitism institute ISGAP released a pre-election report cataloging Mamdani’s statements and associations, flagging his refusal to explicitly condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” and highlighting ties it deems troubling.
- A campaign-finance group, the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, filed criminal referrals alleging illegal foreign contributions to Mamdani’s bid; his campaign says any contribution issues have been resolved.
- President Donald Trump labeled Mamdani a “communist” and suggested he could limit federal funds to New York if Mamdani wins, as polls show the Democrat still leading in a tightening three-way race set for Tuesday.
