Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that he met with Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, but declined to make a formal endorsement.
Mamdani, who won the mayoral primary by 12 percentage points over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has struggled to gain high-profile endorsements from congressional leaders despite mounting pressure from their progressive colleagues.
“We had a good meeting,” Schumer told reporters Tuesday at the Capitol. “We know each other well, and we’re going to keep talking.”
