House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed New York City’s Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, throwing the weight of one of the highest-ranking party members behind the Queens assemblyman.
“Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy,” Jeffries said in a statement to the New York Times.
