Mamdani’s wife snubs Brad Lander while showing support for DSA candidates in New York primary

Rama Duwaji, wife of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, publicly voiced her support for Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier in the recent Democratic primary, while conspicuously omitting any mention of Brad Lander, another congressional candidate and former City Comptroller. This snub comes as her husband endorsed Lander, highlighting a potential rift within the party. This situation underscores the intensifying ideological divide between progressive factions within the Democratic Party, with implications for upcoming elections and the party's direction.
