Espaillat and Goldman — and teaming up with Bernie Sanders for a Brooklyn rally to amplify his agenda. While Democrats debate whether his brand is a strength or a liability, Republicans are already eyeing him as a symbol of Democratic extremism — though Sanders’ allies insist Mamdani’s grassroots power is too potent to ignore.
