Half a dozen congressional Democrats haven’t endorsed their party’s nominee for NYC mayor. It might not matter.
It’s not just Schumer and Jeffries who are staying quiet on New York City’s mayoral race.

“I expect to have more to say about the mayor’s race shortly,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said last month (prior to the federal government shutdown).
“They know each other well and they’re going to keep talking,” Angelo Roefaro, a spokesperson for U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, said of mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani and the state’s senior senator.
Though all the attention and pressure has been on Schumer and Jeffries, they’re not the only members of Congress who have declined to make an endorsement in the general election for New York City mayor so far. A number of Democratic Congress members representing parts of New York City have yet to weigh in.
Reps. Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks and Tom Suozzi are among those who have not made an official endorsement of any candidate in the general election. Meng didn’t endorse anyone in the primary. Goldman endorsed state Sen. Zellnor Myrie. Torres, Meeks and Suozzi endorsed Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent candidate in the general election.
The reason they are distancing themselves from him is simple: he says the quiet part out loud.
He is an idealogical Marxist who will govern as a socialist. That describes a large percent of Democratic officials who serve in blue states. But they don't say so.
The weird thing is that if his fellow Marxist Dems thought that his socialist policies were going to improve the lives of New Yorkers, and bring about a new era of prosperity and safety to his constituents, they would clamor to be on his bandwagon. They know that their philosophy, when implemented in a real American city, will be disastrous for the residents.
Yet they are still Marxists/socialists.
Why?
