Sen Bernie Sanders and Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke ahead of Mr Mamdani, who has gone from an outsider to the unpredictable race's front-runner — and a standard bearer with them on the Democratic Party's left.
Sunday’s rally at a Queens stadium came after early voting in the city of 8.5 million began the day before, with Election Day scheduled for Nov 4 and the new mayor taking office in the New Year.
Ms Ocasio-Cortez, whose congressional district contains portions of Queens, said that on election day “we will send a loud message to President Donald Trump that his authoritarianism is no good here’, sparking chants of “AOC”.
