AOC, who loudly backed Mamdani during the primary, said she was eager for people in DC to meet her fellow lefty firebrand face-to- face to hear his plan for NYC.

In a town where all politics is tribal, Mamdani has emerged as a leader of New York’s South Asian community, 600,000 strong, which is now following its Irish, Italian, Jewish, Black, and Latino predecessors in demanding a seat at the table inside City Hall. That bloc is squarely behind Mamdani and fighting hard for victory in November.

NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani​ is visiting Washington, D.C. today to meet with AOC and other democrats, sources say.

The comments came in a closed-door meeting with an influential business consortium, the New York Times reported.

New York Democrats face conflict over socialist mayoral nominee Zorhan Mamdani, as Republicans capitalize on divisions to gain advantage in crucial House races.

Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is a leading candidate for mayor of New York. He wants to tax the rich. Business interests are panicking.

NYC landlords are scrambling to stop Mamdani's ascent, warning that the candidate's policies would "destroy" the city's rental market. But renters back him up.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is also running against Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo, the former New York governor, in November's election.

Trump labels New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani a "communist" as Republicans aim to paint the progressive assemblyman as an extremist ahead of midterm elections.

Goldman Sachs will finance a $270 million affordable housing project to build 385 apartments in the East New York neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York Governor Kathy Hochul's office said.

The idea has generated buzz since Zohran Mamdani won the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, but there are few successful examples to draw from, experts say.
