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.

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.

The Congress member framed the NYC mayor’s race as a referendum on the Democratic Party at a rally for Zohran Mamdani.
