Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who declined to endorse the Democratic candidate for mayor in New York City, wouldn’t say Tuesday whether he had voted for him. Asked if he had voted for Zohran Mamdani or former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, Schumer said, „Look, I voted and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City“, USA Today reports.
Sources tell the New York Times that Schumer broke with the tradition of party leaders backing party candidates in their home states for multiple reasons, including Mamdani’s strong criticism of Israel, the possible effect on races in other states of backing the leftist candidate, and New York City donors‘ worries about Mamdani.
