Overview

• About 1,800 people attended a Brooklyn College town hall where Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani rallied volunteers and highlighted affordability plans like a rent freeze and free buses.
• President Donald Trump has labeled Mamdani a communist and urged opponents to consolidate into a one-on-one contest, while denying that he offered Eric Adams an ambassadorship.
• Reports say Adams met with a Trump envoy about potential federal roles, yet he insists he is staying in the race as Andrew Cuomo continues an independent bid and Republican Curtis Sliwa remains the GOP nominee.
• Sanders criticized New York leaders for withholding endorsements, adding to pressure on figures such as Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer and Gov. Kathy Hochul as progressive allies push unity behind the nominee.
• Mamdani is described as the front-runner with strong labor and grassroots support, and his campaign is expanding volunteer operations after a primary upset over Cuomo.
