Democratic kingmaker Rep. Jim Clyburn endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the Big Apple’s mayoral primary Friday — as surging socialist contender Zohran Mamdani’s campaign garnered a mix of fresh condemnation and support.
Clyburn, the 84-year-old South Carolina congressman, cast Cuomo as a bulwark against President Trump and asserted the former governor and accused sex pest has the “experiences, credentials and character to not just serve New York, but also save the nation.”
“The mayor of New York is uniquely positioned to play an important role in the future of the national Democratic Party,” Clyburn said in a statement.
Cuomo, 67, has vigorously denied the sexual harassment accusations against him. He responded to Clyburn’s endorsement with a backhanded jab at the 33-year-old Mamdani’s arguably pie-in-the-sky campaign promises.
