Van Hollen endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor, slams ‘spineless’ Dems for hesitating
Senator Van Hollen endorsed Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor, criticizing Democrats' reluctance to back the socialist candidate who leads with 46% in recent polls, urging party unity.
- Senator Chris Van Hollen publicly supported Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor of New York City and criticized fellow party leaders for their hesitation in officially backing him.
- Van Hollen blamed many New York Democratic members for staying on the sidelines, calling the party too cautious and rudderless amid internal divisions.

- According to a New York Times/Siena College poll, Mamdani leads the race with 46% support, followed by former Governor Cuomo at 24%, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa at 15%.
- Van Hollen said Mamdani's nomination could begin the party's redemption, but establishment hesitance signals ongoing challenges for Democrats in New York.
