Democratic U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi has endorsed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race, rejecting his party’s nominee, Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani.
Suozzi said he agrees with Mamdani’s concerns about affordability but “fundamentally disagrees” with his proposed solutions. The move puts Suozzi at odds with top Democrats — including Gov. Kathy Hochul and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — who have thrown their support behind Mamdani’s campaign.
