Overview
- Fresh polling shows Zohran Mamdani still ahead but with a shrinking edge, including a Suffolk University survey placing him at 44% to Andrew Cuomo’s 34% with Curtis Sliwa at 11%.
- Mamdani acknowledged he misidentified a relative in a story about post‑9/11 safety, clarifying the woman he referenced was his father’s cousin rather than his aunt.
- A broad coalition of Jewish leaders has voiced alarm over his rhetoric and associations, highlighted by an open letter signed by more than 1,000 rabbis warning about his candidacy.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a late endorsement of Mamdani, while other Democrats voiced worries about the party’s image under a socialist standard-bearer and Chuck Schumer had not endorsed.
- Republican Rep. Andy Ogles urged a review of Mamdani’s naturalization records, a call that is public and developing with no official investigation announced.
