With one week left until voting ends in the city's Democratic mayoral primary, the senator announced his endorsement for progressive Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.

"How does New York effectively address the crises in affordable housing, education, crime, drugs, transportation, childcare, and many more?" said Sanders (I-Vt.) in a statement. "The answers will not be easy, but one thing I do know: They will not be solved by a Democratic establishment dependent on super PACs funded by billionaires who could care less about the needs of working families. We need a new politics and new leadership which is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests and fight for the working class."

I’m a simple man. I see Bernie endorsement, I vote for that person.

(Or in this case donate a little because I don’t live in NYC.)
