Zohran Mamdani Lands Key Endorsement From New York Governor Kathy Hochul
HuffPost
It's a notable statement of support from a moderate New York leader.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) endorsed Zohran Mamdani ― the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor ― in a notable move that signals growing support from moderates in the party.
In a New York Times op-ed on Sunday, Hochul stressed the two leaders’ common focus on affordability and combating President Donald Trump in the endorsement, which makes her one of the most prominent establishment Democrats in the state to throw her weight behind Mamdani’s candidacy.
“Affordability has long been my top priority as governor, and it is the No. 1 concern I share with Mr. Mamdani,” Hochul wrote.
She added: “In light of the abhorrent and destructive policies coming out of Washington every day, I needed to know the next mayor will not be someone who would surrender one inch to President Trump.”
Hochul’s endorsement is significant given the key position she holds as a governing partner for Mamdani if he becomes mayor. Many of the policies that he’s committed to implementing, including tax hikes to cover social programs, will require her buy-in, and that of members of the state legislature.
