The New York Police Department is investigating threats against New York City mayoral candidate and socialist Zohran Mamdani after a man left a series of voice messages at his district office in recent weeks. The messages threatened Mamdani and his family. Mamdani’s campaign is cooperating with the NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force on the messages.

New York City mayoral candidate and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani received multiple death threats in recent weeks, including a threat to blow up his car, according to his campaign.

Zohran Mamdani, a candidate in the Democratic primary for the New York City mayoral election, drew pushback from Jewish organizations and political leaders this week after he appeared to defend the slogan “globalize the intifada.

Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander, the highest-ranking progressive candidates in the race, endorsed each other Friday, one day after the final Democratic primary debate during which both attacked Cuomo. The former governor saved most of his fire for Mamdani, who is nipping at his heels in the final stretch of the race.
