NYC mayoral race: Goldman backs Myrie (D) on national TV, giving campaign a potential boost
US Rep. Dan Goldman appeared on national TV Monday morning alongside state Sen. Zellnor Myrie to announce his backing for the Brooklyn Democrat’s bid to unseat Eric Adams as mayor — a move that could potentially give the relatively unknown candidate a sizable boost.
Goldman, who represents parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, made the announcement with Myrie on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, a show that draws hundreds of thousands of viewers each weekday morning.
“Zellnor is a true visionary. He’s someone who is really poised to lead the next generation of Democrats, both in New York City as well as the country,” Goldman told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. “He balances the sort of vision, the courage of his convictions, but also the very smart, pragmatic policies that our city really needs.”
Goldman, who made his name prosecuting President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, has harshly criticized Adams over his rhetoric on immigration since Trump’s election. He has also charged that Adams may have let his federal indictment “interfere” with his job of running the city.
