Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander Announce Cross Endorsement to Challenge Andrew Cuomo in New York City Mayoral Race

Published June 13, 2025 | Video Starts at 18:25

If this guy had to be mayor and I couldn't be mayor, you know. You sound like an immigrant father telling me that my 97 is not good enough on the test. We are announcing this the day before early voting begins. And we know that for the vast majority of New Yorkers, they have yet to actually vote. And we also know that in 2021, there was a lot of fear mongering around ranked choice voting. (18:25–18:30)

CLAIM

States the timing of the announcement is just before early voting starts.
