Mamdani, Sanders Rally for 3 New York Progressives 6 Days Before Primaries

Summary
Brooklyn hosted Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders on Thursday as they pushed a slate of progressive candidates less than a week before New York’s key Democratic primaries.
Three marquee endorsees are testing Mamdani’s coattails: Darializa Avila Chevalier against Rep. Adriano Espaillat, Brad Lander against Rep. Dan Goldman, and Claire Valdez in the 7th District contest.
Mamdani, 34, is using his popularity after last year’s mayoral breakthrough to press for a more progressive Democratic Party centered on affordability in one of the nation’s costliest cities.
The effort also sharpens a broader midterm fight, with Republicans arguing Mamdani’s socialist profile gives them a potent foil as they try to protect their razor-thin House majority.
