New York City mayoral candidates Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander have cross-endorsed each other in a bid to keep ex-governor Andrew Cuomo out of office.

Zohran Mamdani has rocketed from relative obscurity to become one of the top contenders in the New York City mayor’s race

Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander, the highest-ranking progressive candidates in the race, endorsed each other Friday, one day after the final Democratic primary debate during which both attacked Cuomo. The former governor saved most of his fire for Mamdani, who is nipping at his heels in the final stretch of the race.
