"Many Democratic members of the Senate and the House representing New York have stayed on the sidelines. That kind of spineless politics is what people are sick of. They need to get behind him and get behind him now."
"New York needs leaders who will put aside differences, stand up and fight back against Mr. Trump."
Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen criticized party leadership for not endorsing Zohran Mamdani and called that inaction "spineless." Many Democratic leaders and moderate Democrats are distancing themselves from Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist. Progressive activists have rallied behind Mamdani, citing his economic populism and youthful charisma and building grassroots support beyond New York. Republican officials and President Donald Trump have seized on the divisions to link Mamdani and his policies to the broader Democratic brand and to press political attacks. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani and urged unity against Trump.
