With Eric Adams out, top Democrats face growing calls to pick a side in NYC’s mayoral race, according to POLITICO.
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, now faces Andrew Cuomo and GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa. Progressive groups are urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to back Mamdani—but both are hesitant.
Schumer is concerned over Mamdani’s past statements, while Jeffries worries his progressive image could hurt moderates in 2026 House races.
