NYC Mayor Mamdani Expands Clout With 3 Endorsements as Trump Amplifies Deportation Attack

Three House endorsements by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani helped progressive candidates beat establishment-backed rivals, reinforcing his growing role as a Democratic kingmaker.
Recent polls show Mamdani gaining popularity in a period of broad public disaffection with politics, giving the democratic socialist mayor more room to spend political capital.
Trump recently shared a Michael Savage video calling for Mamdani to be criminalized and deported, a threat the mayor said reflects the normalization of political violence.
Mamdani said NYPD protection shields him personally, but warned that such rhetoric makes hostility toward perceived "others" more acceptable in New York and across the country.
