Why couldn't Chuck Schumer, Kristen Gillibrand, and Hillary Clinton support a candidate who campaign on such "radical" issues as affordability, transportation, housing, child care, and public safety?

 

Headline:  New York Times, 11/6/2025

Michael Gold and Katie Glueck report:

Mr. Schumer was far from the only prominent Democrat to withhold support from Mr. Mamdani. The mayor-elect won without endorsements from New York’s other Democratic senator, Kirsten Gillibrand; its state party chair, Jay Jacobs; or Hillary Clinton, the former New York senator and the last Democratic presidential nominee from the state, who expressed reservations about him in the final stages of the election. Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic House minority leader, endorsed Mr. Mamdani only toward the end of the race and never campaigned alongside him.
