The influential Working Families Party, which endorsed Mamdani as its first choice, is turning up the pressure as well. The state lawmaker slightly expanded his 12-point lead over former governor Andrew Cuomo in the most updated city Board of Elections results.
“It’s time for every Democratic leader to get on board,” New York co-director Jasmine Gripper told POLITICO, pointing out that Mamdani is supported by fellow state assemblymembers from across the Democratic spectrum. “The Mamdani tent is big enough for everyone. Any leader who is serious about building a base of energized voters and wins would be smart to join us.”
Additionally, Our Revolution, founded after Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, has been circulating a petition saying, “Tell Dem leaders: Don’t sabotage Mamdani.” It had 30,000 signatures as of Tuesday night.
But the signals from those leaders have been that they’ll work at their own pace. And no endorsements are guaranteed.
Jeffries said he and Mamdani are set to meet next week. Schumer is also planning to eventually meet with the Queens lawmaker, his spokesperson said, but no date has been set. Hochul, Mamdani and their teams are in regular communication, the governor has said.
Asked Wednesday at a United Federation of Teachers endorsement event about Democratic leaders hesitating to endorse him, Mamdani focused on their common ground.
