"I'm a democratic capitalist, not a democratic socialist, and I'm endorsing Andrew Cuomo. I cannot possibly support somebody who says-, declares he's a socialist. He says he wants to raise taxes in New York, which would be devastating to New York, answered Suozzi. He doesn't support a lot of different things that I think are very important for the state of New York and the country, so I couldn't possibly support him."
"While he acknowledged areas of principled disagreement with the upstart, Jeffries told The New York Times that Mamdani had relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy, and that Democrats needed to unite in the face of an existential threat from President Donald Trump."
Rep. Tom Suozzi said on Fox News he cannot support New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani because he identifies as a democratic capitalist, not a democratic socialist, and endorsed Andrew Cuomo. Suozzi said Mamdani declares himself a socialist and proposes tax increases that would be devastating to New York, and that Mamdani does not support many policies Suozzi views as important for the state and country. Suozzi appeared with Problem Solvers Caucus co-chair Brian Fitzpatrick during a government shutdown discussion. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsed Mamdani despite disagreements, citing Mamdani's focus on affordability and a commitment to be mayor for all New Yorkers; Jeffries urged Democrats to unite against President Donald Trump.
