Overview

• Zohran Mamdani rallied with Sen. Bernie Sanders at Brooklyn College, telling supporters that New Yorkers—not President Trump or wealthy donors—will choose the city’s next mayor.
• President Trump publicly urged a smaller field and said only a one-on-one race could beat Mamdani, while denying he offered Mayor Eric Adams an ambassadorship as reports described discussions with Trump envoys.
• Eric Adams said he will stay in the race and attacked Andrew Cuomo, who is continuing an independent bid, leaving a multi-candidate general election that could be decided by a plurality with Curtis Sliwa also running.
• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Gov. Kathy Hochul have not endorsed the Democratic nominee, even as progressives like Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez press for party unity.
• New scrutiny of Mamdani’s readiness intensified as he offered few specific K–12 plans and declined to denounce a controversial DSA anti‑Zionist resolution, while saying he would pursue his full agenda even with only a plurality win.
