A proposed flier from a super PAC supporting Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral bid featured an image of Zohran Mamdani with a thicker beard. Mr. Mamdani called the manipulation Islamophobic.

After months of Andrew Cuomo topping the New York City mayor’s race while the organized left scrambled, progressive candidates are finally using ranked-choice voting to fight back. Whether there’s enough time to capitalize on Cuomo’s negatives remains to be seen — he continues to dominate most polls and is funded by a multimillion-dollar super PAC,

The PAC said the image was released without its consent. A Cuomo spokesperson called the picture "absurd and disrespectful."

Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander — have cross endorsed each other in a last-ditch attempt to take down frontrunner Andrew Cuomo.
