Cuomo gets faith leader endorsements, Mamdani takes heat for foreign contributions
Cuomo, who is looking to redeem himself in November’s general election following an unexpected primary defeat at the hands of Mamdani, boasted on Sunday of the endorsements of 70 reverends, pastors, bishops, and apostles across New York City’s five boroughs.
The former governor, who normally makes public church visits on Sundays, celebrated the endorsements in a news release......
Mamdani had no public campaign schedule for Sunday, a break from his routine of publicized church visits and canvassing events. However, he made an early afternoon address at Riverside Church in Morningside Heights and was scheduled to speak at Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
The democratic socialist took heat Sunday morning for campaign finance documents reported by the New York Post, revealing that Mamdani’s campaign had received about $13,000 in donations from individuals with addresses outside the United States. By law, any contribution provided to a campaign by foreign nationals must be returned, except for those made by legal permanent residents of the US.
