The Big Apple’s powerful teachers union is expected to announce its endorsement of Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani — after its members passed on making a pick in the primary, The Post has learned.
Two sources close to the United Federation of Teachers said that the endorsement is coming soon from the nearly 200,000-member union after the results of the Democratic Party primary were made official this week.
The union had previously declined to endorse because members were split between Democratic socialist Mamdani, a 33-year-old state Assembly member, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 67.
