Mistake by NYC DSA to endorse her if they are going to withdraw it at Mamdani's behest. Makes them look weak and overrides the democratic will of the chapter. But the dominant factions in NYC DSA have made clear that they want to fully orient around Mamdani even at risk of damaging their internal democracy

They endorsed her for city council, but I don't see that they endorsed her for Congress?
