Campaign Support during the 2025 New York City Mayoral Race's Final Round
In the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, endorsements did not seem to provide a significant boost for then-front-runner Andrew Cuomo. This trend is in stark contrast to the traditional role of endorsements, which can add credibility to a campaign, help mobilize supporters, and prompt people to volunteer.
However, many people and groups that endorsed Cuomo have adopted a wait-and-see approach before throwing their support behind a different candidate in the general election. This hesitancy could be attributed to the highly polarized race, where endorsements may have limited impacts.
Meanwhile, a new contender, Zohran Mamdani, a Democrat, has been garnering substantial support. Mamdani has received endorsements from a diverse array of individuals and groups, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, state Attorney General Letitia James, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jerrold Nadler, Nydia Velázquez, Adriano Espaillat, Pat Ryan, City Comptroller Brad Lander, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and numerous state Senators and Representatives.
Notably, Mamdani has also secured the backing of several labour unions, such as District Council 37, United Federation of Teachers, 32BJ SEIU, NYC Central Labor Council AFL-CIO, Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, New York State Nurses Association, United Auto Workers Region 9A, American Federation of Musicians Local 802, 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, Actors' Equity Association, Communications Workers of America, and more.
President Donald Trump, while praising Mayor Eric Adams as a "very good person" and "a good independent," has not endorsed the incumbent. A high-profile endorsement can boost fundraising efforts, and in the absence of such a backing, it remains to be seen how this will impact Adams' campaign.
In a local race, a celebrity endorsement can turn a politician into a national figure. However, the search results did not provide specific information on the key supporters of Zohran Mamdani in the current New York mayoral election confirmed after September 14, 2021. This leaves room for further developments in the race as the election date approaches.
