U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries on Friday said Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani needs to reach out to a “broader electorate” to help earn his pivotal endorsement in the November general election. The Democrat House minority leader praised Mamdani for his thumping primary win over ex-Gov.

Mamdani's odds of winning the upcoming New York mayoral election increased by 10 percentage points from 72 percent in July to 82 percent on Thursday, according to Covers.com. Over the same period, the odds of Cuomo remained flat at 9 percent while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams saw his odds tumble from 21 percent to 6 percent.
