Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is making a number of changes to his campaign team as he shifts from his far-left underdog status in the primary to a Democratic nominee intent on uniting his big-tent party in the November general election.
Mamdani, who is currently on a two-week jaunt to his home country of Uganda, has hired Maya Handa as his new campaign manager, his team announced on Friday. Handa will lead Mamdani’s general election organization after serving in the same role on state Sen. Zellnor Myrie’s (D-Brooklyn) failed Democratic primary campaign.
