House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries hesitated to endorse presumptive Democratic New York City mayor nominee Zohran Mamdani but praised his "successful" campaign and messaging."I have not," Jeffries said when asked by "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl about if he had endorsed the self-proclaimed democratic socialist candidate.

Andrew Cuomo will not drop out of the New York City mayoral race by the Friday deadline to remove himself from the general election ballot, sources tell CNN. That leaves in place contingency plans he had established before the Democratic primary to challenge Zohran Mamdani and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams in November.
