27. In what way isn't the DNC fully supporting the Democratic candidate for NYC mayor?

What exactly is it that you think the DNC normally does to support Democratic candidates in municipal elections?

Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic candidate for mayor and has full access to and use of every resource that the Democratic Party makes available to any and every Democratic general election candidate during a NYC mayoral run.

None of those resources are available to Andrew Cuomo.

Why would anyone think that the DNC is supporting or will support any independent candidate? Where is that talking point coming from?
