In Crowded N.Y.C. Mayor’s Race, Zellnor Myrie Lands Coveted Endorsement
The New York Times
Representative Dan Goldman’s support may help Mr. Myrie, a state senator from Brooklyn, to emerge from a pack of progressive Democrats.
In the New York City mayoral race, challengers seeking to unseat the embattled incumbent, Eric Adams, are vying for any edge to help them emerge from a crowded pack of mostly progressive Democratic candidates.
One such challenger, State Senator Zellnor Myrie, received such a boost on Monday, when he appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” — a coveted stop to reach Democratic voters — to announce an endorsement from Representative Dan Goldman of New York.
The endorsement by Mr. Goldman, a former prosecutor who led the first impeachment case against President Trump and was rumored to be considering a mayoral run himself, was notable because of its timing and because of Mr. Goldman’s background.
When Mr. Goldman won an open House seat for a district in Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan in 2022, he did so by pushing his law-enforcement background and by adopting more moderate views than most of his challengers. His backing of Mr. Myrie, an avowed progressive from Brooklyn, also comes early in the endorsement cycle.
Mr. Goldman praised him as a “true visionary” who would stand up to Mr. Trump.
“For me, it was important if I was going to jump in, to do it early when it could make the most difference,” Mr. Goldman said at a news conference with Mr. Myrie outside City Hall, a few hours after the “Morning Joe” appearance.
