Mamdani meets with union bigwig – as he searches for lefty 2028 candidates

Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with the head honcho of the powerful United Auto Workers union Wednesday as part of a series of sit-down meetings with labor leaders over fielding a lefty 2028 presidential candidate.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mulls over whether she will run for the White House. Mamdani has held closed-door meetings in recent weeks discussing potential candidates while privately expressing doubt over whether socialist darling AOC will ultimately run for president in 2028. Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, will meet with the mayor at Gracie Mansion later today as part of his latest talks with lefty labor figures about fielding a 2028 presidential candidate.

The Best Dogs for Apartment Life in New York City

Living in New York City with a dog isn’t just about finding a four-legged companion.

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”
