Mamdani-Endorsed Races Poised for Tougher Showdowns After Moreno Victory
TL;DR Summary
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsed candidate Diana Moreno won a Queens special election easily, but two upcoming Democratic primaries (NY-10 and NY-07) are expected to be far more competitive, testing how far Mamdani’s influence can carry candidates Brad Lander and Claire Valdez. He has been more involved with Valdez, while remaining cautious with Lander amid potential court-ordered redistricting that could reshuffle districts. The outcomes will gauge the political power of a progressive mayor as he balances governing New York City with campaign activity.
