Ramos Picks Cuomo, AOC Endorses Mamdani For NYC Mayor
Briefly

State Senator Jessica Ramos, running in the upcoming June Democratic primary for mayor, surprisingly endorsed Andrew Cuomo, emphasizing his capability to protect New York City against political threats like Trump. In contrast, U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Zohran Mamdani as her top choice. Ramos, expressing disappointment over her campaign's performance relative to allies on the left, has intensified criticism of Mamdani and reflected regret over not running for mayor sooner, stating that political presence is increasingly about media presence.
Ramos stated, "With Trump threatening to bulldoze New York and take us backward, we need someone in City Hall who knows how to hold the line and deliver under pressure."
Ramos expressed disappointment over feeling abandoned by her allies on the left, especially after trailing in polls and fund-raising.
