Mamdani says it's time to 'bring this chapter to a close' after Platner campaign collapse

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani declined to comment on whether the collapse of former Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner's campaign reflects a broader problem within the progressive movement, instead saying in an interview published Thursday that it was time to "bring this chapter to a close."

During an interview with NY1's Errol Lewis, the host noted that Platner's downfall had sparked a national conversation about whether progressives had moved too quickly to embrace a candidate who was "simply unfit" for office.
