I think they're just reluctant to publicly endorse him probably because they're known the Cuomo family for so many decades. (I know how that goes)

Plus it's still early.

The local Democratic parties are supporting him and that is what matters!

There is that one Rep in NY who is acting like a jerk, but this article is about Schumer and Jeffries and how "They must go" because they haven't endorsed Mamdani. I'm pretty sure Mamdani is going to win.

I wouldn't be surprised if the author of the article starts bashing the DNC if they haven't endorsed in this race. But usually the DNC does not get involved in city elections! Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the author starts bashing the Texas Democratic Party because it hasn't endorsed Mamdani in the NYC mayor's race! I felt that the author was "off point"....
