Overview

• WICK/Next Up polling shows Mamdani at 39% support in the four-way general election against Cuomo, Sliwa and Adams.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled his policies “nonsense” and predicted he would serve only one term if elected.
• Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro warned that Mamdani must explicitly condemn antisemitic rhetoric among his supporters.
• Mamdani has begun softening his platform by proposing a limited rent-freeze timeline, endorsing a separate public safety department and discouraging the chant “globalize the intifada.”
• He remains without endorsements from centrist figures such as Governor Kathy Hochul and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as establishment unease grows.
