David Paterson believes elected Democrats in New York should back a candidate other than state Rep. Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary. Paterson expressed his view that Mamdani is unfit to lead New York City during challenging times. He hopes for a unified anti-Mamdani candidate. Mamdani, set to be the nominee, previously garnered more votes in the primary than any Democratic candidate in 36 years. His campaign promises include universal childcare and affordable housing.
I simply do not believe Zohran Mamdani is the person to lead New York City in these extremely turbulent times.
More than 545,000 New Yorkers voted for Zohran Mamdani, the most votes any Democratic primary candidate has received in 36 years.
I think they're holding their powder. I hope this event will spur action between the other candidates running for mayor.
Zohran looks forward to growing this coalition and reaching new voters with his vision for an affordable New York City.
