Overview

• Bernie Sanders headlined a Brooklyn College town hall with Zohran Mamdani, drawing about 1,700 people and hailing the campaign’s grassroots strength.
• President Donald Trump dismissed a crowded field as unwinnable against Mamdani, denied offering Eric Adams an ambassadorship, and suggested Andrew Cuomo would fare better one-on-one.
• Reports and remarks at the event highlighted wealthy donors and corporate backers funding anti‑Mamdani efforts, with Mamdani vowing that New Yorkers will choose their mayor.
• House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Gov. Kathy Hochul have not endorsed Mamdani, even as figures like state Sen. Liz Krueger and major labor groups offer support.
• Chalkbeat reported that Mamdani has yet to release detailed K‑12 plans, underscoring questions about governance specifics as he runs on rent freezes, free buses and expanded childcare.
