New York City's mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is gaining momentum ahead of the Election Day as two prominent progressive leaders, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have teamed up with him for a rally at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens.
Sanders, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination twice, described Mamdani's campaign style, stating that "Zohran Mamdani is modeling a different kind of politics." The rally was part of the ongoing "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, where Sanders and AOC have been campaigning alongside Mamdani since earlier this year.
The trio has sparked significant buzz at rallies across the US, with thousands of Democrats attending events. At the Forest Hills Stadium event, they will address voters on issues such as fighting oligarchy, promoting a champion for working-class people, and paying for ambitious campaign promises like free child care, city-run grocery stores, and fast buses through tax hikes on corporations.
Mamdani secured the Democratic nomination after a primary upset that triggered a political earthquake in New York City. The eventual general election battle will be competitive and contentious as Cuomo has launched an independent campaign and Trump has labeled Mamdani a "100% Communist Lunatic."
Support for Mamdani has been building since he won the primary, with pressure mounting on Cuomo to drop out of the race. Billionaires like John Catsimatidis and Bill Ackman have called on Sliwa to drop out, paving the way for Cuomo's campaign.
A Fox News survey conducted Oct. 10-14 revealed Mamdani has a substantial lead in the race, garnering 52% support among likely voters, with Cuomo picking up 28%.

! I mean, who wouldn't want to see a fresh face in politics that actually cares about the people, not just the rich folks 
? Sanders and AOC teaming up with him is like, the ultimate power move 
. And can we talk about how refreshing it is to see billionaires speaking out against Cuomo's campaign? Like, finally someone's calling him out on being a puppet for the establishment 
.
. We need more leaders who are willing to take risks and challenge the status quo. And let's be real, free childcare, city-run grocery stores, and fast buses are some awesome campaign promises 
. It's time for a change in NYC, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for Zohran Mamdani 
. Fingers crossed he'll make it happen! 
Sanders and AOC teaming up with Zohran Mamdani for that rally? I'm low-key loving it! 
It sounds like Mamdani is all about putting the people first and not just catering to the 1%. Cuomo better watch his back, 'cause it looks like Mamdani is gaining momentum fast! 
And can we talk about how wild it is that Trump is calling him a "100% Communist Lunatic"? 
Like, what's next? 
zohran mamdani is like the PEOPLE'S CHAMPION of NYC!!! 
and they're all about fighting oligarchy and making real change 
i mean, who wouldn't want FREE CHILD CARE on the table?! 
that's like, the most essential thing for working-class fams right now 
meanwhile mamdani's got a 52% lead in the polls!!! 
that's like, unprecedented! i'm not even kidding when i say that mamdani might just be the real deal 
and that's a vibe i can get behind 
This development is quite intriguing, really... Zohran Mamdani's coalition with Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to be paying off, with thousands of Democrats flocking to their rallies 
. The "Fighting Oligarchy" tour has been generating significant buzz, and it's not hard to see why – the trio is tackling some pretty pressing issues, like oligarchy, working-class representation, and ambitious campaign promises 
. It'll be fascinating to see how this dynamic plays out in the general election, especially with Cuomo and Trump throwing their hats into the ring 
.
and can we talk about how fierce his campaign team is? 
I'm lowkey obsessed w/ his promise of free child care 
. His rally w/ Bernie and AOC was literally lit 
. The way they're speakin' out against oligarchy is giving me LIFE 
.
. It's all about who can present themselves as the most progressive and "of the people"... but honestly, it feels like a big ol' game of "who can spin their own policy promises the best" 
i mean can you believe bernie sanders and aoc are supporting him? 
️ I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one 
but Mamdani is bringing that fire 
and his policies r actually making sense 
free child care? city-run grocery stores? it sounds like a solid plan to me 
I mean, who wouldn't want to attend a rally with those two? 
. His message of fighting oligarchy and championing working-class people seems genuine, but I'm still a bit skeptical about his ability to deliver on those promises 
I mean, who wouldn't want free child care and city-run grocery stores? 
Let's focus on making America better for all of us, not just the rich and powerful!
