It's the Brian Lair show on WNYC. Good morning again, everyone.

I'm Bridget Bergen, senior reporter in the WNYC in Gothamist Newsroom, sitting in for Brian today.

And now we turn to the new york city mayor's race

a race that is extending beyond the five boroughs up to albany and across the country democratic mayoral

candidate zoran momdani has picked up some major endorsements over the last week governor kathy hokel mack

the party's nominee and penned an op-ed in the New York Times this weekend,

explaining how she reached her decision. New York State's Senate Majority Leader,

Andrea Stewart Cousins, endorsed Mum Donnie back in July, and we'll follow Mum.

And now Speaker of the Assembly, Carl Hastie, will follow the other two leaders soon.

We've got our colleague in Albany,

Jimmy Vilc, New York State Issues reporter for WNYC and author of the substack notes from Jimmy

on deck with a view from the mayor's race from the state's capital. Hey, Jimmy, how are you?

Good morning, Bridget. Meanwhile, Mamdani gained the support of prominent Democrats in Washington outside of his progressive circles,

as well as members of the party grew more concerned about Donald Trump's relationship with the former governor, Andrew Cuomo.

The pressure is on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is still on the sidelines.

Later in this segment, we'll also take a look at a new series of Mamdani's undertaking on social media

to garner's support for his Department of Community Safety. But first, is the progressive
