Mayoral Democratic hopefuls Zohran Mamdani and Michael Blake cross-endorsed one another Monday morning at an event in the Bronx.

The joint announcement marks Mamdani’s second cross-endorsement in just a few days. On Friday, the Queens assemblyman joined forces with City Comptroller Brad Lander, urging voters to use ranked-choice voting strategically in an effort to ice out former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“I am honored to receive the support of Michael Blake as we both seek to turn the page on the broken politics of the past and the corrupt leadership of Andrew Cuomo,” Mamdani said in a statement Monday. “Michael Blake is someone who leads with his values, has relentlessly exposed Andrew Cuomo’s true record of deceit and incompetence, and I am proud to rank him on my ballot. In an election that can only be won with unity, our partnership with Michael Blake is critical to the fight for a city every New Yorker can afford.”

Mamdani is asking voters who support Lander or Blake to rank him as their second choice, ensuring that if either Blake or Lander are eliminated, those ballots will benefit him.
