Sen. Bernie Sanders is endorsing Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral primary election . Sanders made the announcement Tuesday morning, saying in a statement, "We need a new politics and new leadership which is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests and fight for the working class."

Zohran Mamdani could barely walk a few feet at Thursday’s Juneteenth festival in Queens without a crowd of selfie-demanding admirers trying to stop him.

The Democratic Socialist state Assemblymember has closed the gap between himself and Andrew Cuomo in the primary.
