Queens Democrats Reject Assemblyman Mamdani's Mayoral Bid Ahead of Election
The Queens Democratic Party has denied support for Assemblyman Zohran Mamdanis mayoral bid in New York City, highlighting divisions within the Democratic Party (United States).
- During its annual pre-election gala at Antuns restaurant, the Queens Democratic Party leadership refused to endorse Dem city mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani ahead of Tuesdays election.
- Democratic district leader Hiram Monserrate stated that many Democrats in Queens do not support Zohran Mamdani, indicating significant rifts within the local party structure.
- The event saw campaign literature for Andrew Cuomo rather than support for Mamdani, signaling a potential shift in backing towards more established Democratic candidates in New York City.
Why It Matters
This rejection of Zohran Mamdani by the Queens Democratic Party underscores internal conflicts that could shape the upcoming election landscape in New York City, influencing voter sentiments and party unity. The presence of Andrew Cuomos campaign materials suggests a possible resurgence of traditional Democratic figures amidst growing discontent.
