NY Dem wouldn’t back Mamdani for mayor — now Mamdani is backing his challenger
NeutralU.S News

- New York City Comptroller Brad Lander has officially launched his congressional campaign to challenge incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman, with the backing of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary. This marks a significant shift as Lander previously did not support Mamdani during the mayoral race.
- Lander's candidacy is notable as it reflects a strategic alignment with Mamdani, who has energized progressive movements within the Democratic Party. His support may bolster Lander's chances against Goldman, who has been a prominent figure in the party.
- This development highlights a growing trend of progressive candidates gaining traction in key races, as Mamdani's victory has inspired others to challenge established Democrats. The focus on issues like affordable housing, which Mamdani emphasized during his campaign, is likely to resonate with voters and shape future electoral strategies.
