Digest more
Espaillat has become the most prominent establishment Democrat to endorse the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor.
Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) declared his support for New York state Rep. Zohran Mamdani, the socialist victor of New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. The latest high-profile endorsement of Mamdani comes as other top New York Democrats have stayed away from endorsements in the race.
This week the Democratic front-runner for mayor of this city, Zohran Mamdani, was in the news again for his foreign-policy positions. These include his claim that if he is elected in November he will look to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he even sets foot in this city.
