Loser Ferrer Backs Green in Mayoral Race
Ending a brief feud, Democratic mayoral primary loser Fernando Ferrer has endorsed nominee Mark Green.
“Mark Green is the Democratic nominee, and I’m very happy to support him,” Ferrer said at a joint appearance with Green.
Green faces Republican media mogul Michael Bloomberg in the general election Nov. 6.
Ferrer had conceded the Democratic Party nomination to Green on the night of the Oct. 11 runoff but rescinded it after learning Green’s lead narrowed as the votes were officially totaled.
The count remains incomplete, but Green leads by about 18,900 votes. The final tally is expected this weekend.
