Mamdani privately meets with powerful lefty unions about 2028 — as he makes striking AOC admission

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been privately meeting with labor union leaders to push for a lefty candidate to make a run for the White House in 2028 — and he reportedly isn’t sure Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will take up the mantle. The democratic socialist — who can’t be president himself as he’s not a “natural-born” US citizen — wants to capitalize on progressives’ momentum after the midterm elections and organize a far-left bloc to fight against moderate Democrat candidates, The Post confirmed. Hizzoner “wants the progressive ecosystem to mobilize quickly, strategically and efficiently if a moderate candidate is clearly on the rise,” one source who spoke directly with Mamdani told Axios , which first reported the conversations. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign at Murphy’s in Astoria, Queens, on Nov. 1, 2026.

Bernie Sanders in 2020. Mamdani’s meetings come as he’s reportedly admitted in private that he’s not convinced AOC, the leading young progressive voice on Capitol
