AOC endorses Mamdani in NYC mayoral race against front-runner Cuomo

Progressive MP, Alexandria Okasio Cortez, from New York, the New York Democratic City, is expected, with expected support for a long time less than three weeks before the city preliminary elections on June 24.

Okasio Cortez, a four -time legislator and represents the Congress area in Bronx and Koins and the most prominent leader of New York City on the left, Zahran Mamdani for the mayor on Thursday.

“The assembly member Mamdani has shown a real ability on the ground to collect an alliance of the New York residents of the working class that is stronger in a package,” OCASIO-Cortez said in a statement to the New York Times. “In the final range of the race, we need to get this about it.”

Mamdani was rising in the latest public opinion polls, and it is now a clear second in Fnerone and former New York Governor Andrew Como in the latest investigative studies.

With the presence of many progressive candidates in the basic race, Mamdani is seen by OCASIO-Cortez as a step to unify progressive progressive voters towards one candidate in an attempt to prevent the most moderate Komo from returning to power.

35 -year -old Okasio Cortez made history in 2018 by defeating Democrats in the House of Representatives for a long time, and then acquired national attention in the years that followed as a more clear member in a small but increasing group of young members of the young and varied parliament known as the “team”.

It seems that her support from Mamdani is suitable for her template. The 33 -year -old member of Queens is a colored person and a democratic socialism originally from Uganda.

“Alexandria Okasio Cortez is once a leader in the generation that led the battle for Congress workers. In 2018, the world shocked and transformed our policy,” Mamdani said after the approval news.

He expected, “On June 24, with the support of @aoc and this movement behind us, we will do the same.”

Mamdani says he wants to ride the city’s buses free, and freezing increases in rent on the stable apartments and open groceries run by the city. He would have paid the price of his platform by implementing a $ 10 billion tax height on companies and wealthy people.

Four years ago, the progressive in New York City failed in the federation behind one candidate, which allowed Eric Adams, a moderate democracy, to win the election elections and in the end the general elections.

As his reconnaissance numbers decreased, Adams announced in early April that he would run for his re -election as an independent candidate instead of requesting the nomination of the Democratic Party.

The support of OCASIO-Cortez came nine days ago before the early vote in the preliminary elections was launched on June 14, and the morning that was held in the first critics of the Democratic Democrat.
