House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will endorse Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor Friday, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.

The nod is coming after months of pressure and just before early voting begins Saturday.

Jeffries will join Gov. Kathy Hochul and other senior New York Democrats who’ve announced their support for the democratic socialist after keeping him at arm’s length since his surprising Democratic primary victory in June. One of the people who spoke to POLITICO, who’s close to one of the two camps, said the announcement will come Friday afternoon in the form of a statement, rather than an event.
