State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani announced his mayoral run last week, looking to unseat Mayor Eric Adams, who faces an uphill battle for reelection as he fights federal corruption charges.
He is running as the most progressive candidate so far, and has already received the endorsement of the New York City Chapter for the Democratic Socialists of America.
Mamdani joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Tuesday to discuss more about his campaign.
He represents neighborhoods in Queens, including parts or all of Astoria and Ditmars-Steinway.
