SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A showdown is brewing between progressive Zohran Mamdani ally Crystal Hudson and pro-Israel pol Julie Menin over who will be the next City Council speaker. Hudson (D-Brooklyn) and Menin (D-Manhattan), were the leading contenders for the influential position, with each holding their own competing events Thursday night at the annual SOMOS retreat to court fellow councilmembers still on the fence. “They are pushing very hard,” one moderate councilmember who was still undecided told The Post.
