An endorsement event for Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, came to an abrupt end Monday when he was pulled offstage by a campaign aide.
After accepting the American Federation of Musicians, Local 802's endorsement, Mamdani answered a few questions about former Gov. Andrew Cuomo deciding to stay in the race as an independent candidate and his upcoming meeting with House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
About 20 minutes into the event, before Mamdani could continue answering reporters' questions, his campaign staffers stepped in to say: "I think we're done here. We're going to go. Come on. We're wrapping up, folks. Sorry folks. We're wrapping up."
But Mamdani stood by the podium, attempting to hear the reporters' questions over the chorus of campaign aides' voices, until the band on site for the event began playing "When the Saints Go Marching In." With a smile on his face, Mamdani was pulled away when a campaign aide grabbed his arm.
