Overview

  • Sen. Elizabeth Warren joined Mamdani at a DC37 union event to champion his free childcare proposal and urged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to endorse his affordability agenda.
  • Sen. Cory Booker reiterated his refusal to endorse Mamdani, framing the choice as pragmatic governance over ideological labels and opting instead to focus on New Jersey contests.
  • Ohio Republican Vivek Ramaswamy and allied billionaire donors have launched advertisements and pledged war chests portraying Mamdani’s wealth-tax proposals as threats to the city’s economy and housing market.
  • Mamdani maintains a polling lead in the general election despite establishment Democrats withholding formal backing and faces legislative hurdles in Albany, where Gov. Kathy Hochul and lawmakers oppose major tax increases.
  • Independent campaigns from Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams risk splitting anti-socialist votes under ranked-choice voting, making coalition-building a decisive factor in November’s four-way race.
