A growing number of labor unions and elected officials are backing Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor since his primary win. However, key power players, including Brooklyn Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, have yet to endorse him. Some strategists warn this could alienate young voters, vital for the Democrats in upcoming elections. After a recent meeting, Jeffries indicated further discussions with Mamdani and community leaders, but no endorsement has been made yet. Mamdani's primary victory was fueled by support from younger voters concerned about the party's future.
Jeffries' delay in endorsing could alienate the young voters needed to regain Congress and the White House, with strategic voices urging a quicker endorsement.
Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, won the primary by double digits, largely due to the support of younger, progressive voters who are crucial for the party's future.
