Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner is making a bold prediction about the New York City mayoral race: he says top Democrats will inevitably endorse leftist nominee Zohran Mamdani.
Speaking Sunday on WABC 770 AM’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Weiner said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will have little choice but to back Mamdani, the party’s official nominee.
“At the end of the day, people like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, they are going to have to endorse the nominee of their party,” Weiner said. He said that while some moderate Democrats may remain on the sidelines due to disagreements with Mamdani’s progressive positions, the party’s leadership cannot avoid the spotlight.
