Velázquez backs Reynoso as Mamdani’s coalition faces pressure
TL;DR Summary
Rep. Nydia Velázquez, retiring after 32 years, endorsed Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to succeed her and warned Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stay out of city races, saying his backing of Assemblywoman Claire Valdez could fracture the left-leaning coalition that helped him win office. The move highlights tensions within NYC’s progressive circle as Mamdani presses for Valdez and Velázquez cements Reynoso’s bid, while both navigate intra-party dynamics.
