Influential NY Democrat repping Cuomo voters throws support behind Mamdani [View all]

A powerful Upper East Side state senator on Thursday revealed her decision to endorse Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor of New York City, even though her constituents backed Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary.

State Sen. Liz Krueger, a Democrat who represents New York State Senate District 28, revealed her endorsement of Mamdani for mayor in a conversation with NBC New York.

According to Krueger, there are two storylines that can result from the outcome of New York City’s mayoral race.

"Do you want Andrew Cuomo to be the mayor of New York City with the help support of Donald Trump and his forces, or do you want someone who's yes, newer, less experienced, but with the right goals and ideology, who's gonna stand up for all New Yorkers?"
