New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a socialist, and City Comptroller Brad Lander endorsed each other on Friday, the day after the final debate for the New York City mayoral Democratic primary, in hopes that they can beat front-runner former Gov.

A day after the final debate​ in the Democratic primary race for NYC mayor​, Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani cross-endorsed each other.

Zohran Mamdani sought to draw a sharp distinction between himself and the former New York governor as the two front-runners traded barbed criticisms early in the mayoral debate.

After months of Andrew Cuomo topping the New York City mayor’s race while the organized left scrambled, progressive candidates are finally using ranked-choice voting to fight back. Whether there’s enough time to capitalize on Cuomo’s negatives remains to be seen — he continues to dominate most polls and is funded by a multimillion-dollar super PAC,

The PAC said the image was released without its consent. A Cuomo spokesperson called the picture "absurd and disrespectful."

Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander — have cross endorsed each other in a last-ditch attempt to take down frontrunner Andrew Cuomo.
