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."

New York City Democrats will decide Tuesday whether to reboot Andrew Cuomo's political career, elevate liberal upstart Zohran Mamdani, or turn to a crowded field of lesser-known but maybe less-polarizing candidates in the party's mayoral primary.

Zohran Mamdani, the young democratic-socialist state assemblyman who has waged a surprisingly strong campaign for mayor of New York City, hasn’t just frustrated his opponents. He’s made them jealous.
