Controversial Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is working to secure key endorsements ahead of New York City’s November election.
On Friday, Mamdani is expected to meet with House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., in Brooklyn to discuss key issues. However, Jeffries did not give the press any hint whether he was ready to give Mamdani his endorsement.
“As has been the case with every single high-profile endorsement decision that I’ve made in the past, I have a sit-down conversation, and then I take it from there,” Jeffries told reporters on Thursday.
