Overview
- Our Revolution and allied groups delivered over 30,000 petition signatures to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s Manhattan office on July 9, demanding public endorsement of Mamdani’s mayoral nomination.
- Jewish Democrats in Congress, led by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Rep. Greg Landman, criticized Mamdani’s support for BDS and refusal to condemn the slogan “globalize the intifada,” calling it “terribly disturbing and potentially dangerous.”
- The Democratic Socialists of America warned they will mount primary challenges next year against moderate New York City House Democrats, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, if they withhold support.
- Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed launched ads declaring “Zohran won. Abdul is next,” tying his campaign’s progressive vision to Mamdani’s grassroots victory.
- Mamdani’s street-level popularity has surged so dramatically that he is frequently mobbed for selfies during campaign shoots, even as conservative commentators argue he relies on younger, less informed voters.
