Bernie Sanders and AOC unite behind NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani at rally   US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed their support for Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Sunday, October 26.   “A victory here in New York will give hope and inspiration to people throughout our country and throughout the world,” said Sanders at the ‘New York is Not for Sale’ rally at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, one of New York City’s five boroughs.   “We will prove it to the world and we will prove it to the nation,” Ocasio-Cortez said at the rally. “And we will send a loud message to President Donald Trump that his authoritarianism is no good here”   Mamdani is running against a field of candidates that includes former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, who opposed him in the Democratic primary and is now running as an independent.   “New York, our work has only just begun,” Mamdani told his supporters. “On November 4th, we set ourselves free.”   Republican President Donald Trump has called Mamdani a "communist" and has hinted that he might deploy the National Guard to New York if he becomes mayor. Republicans in the deeply divided US Congress have taken cues from Trump and used terms such as "communists," "socialists" and "Marxists" in an attempt to paint even less liberal Democrats as being out of step with the national electorate.

00:17And there's so many young people around here, and
