On the heels of endorsing Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral general election, U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-Manhattan/Bronx) on Thursday urged fellow Democrats who have been hesitant to back the democratic socialist to get on board with his campaign for City Hall.
Espaillat, during a Thursday afternoon Washington Heights press conference alongside Mamdani, said New York’s Democrats must unite behind the Assembly member in the face of looming threats from President Trump’s administration. He and Mamdani were joined by two of his close allies, Council Members Shaun Abreu and Carmen De La Rosa, who also endorsed Mamdani.
