Mamdani backs Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, says Democrats must put workers first

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has described a victory for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed as being of “critical importance” to New York, linking his campaign to a broader national movement focused on economic justice, affordable healthcare and limiting the influence of money in politics. Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Mamdani defended his support for El-Sayed after being asked about a fundraiser he attended for the candidate earlier this month. He said their movements shared a commitment to putting working people at the heart of government.
