New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorsed Gov. Kathy Hochul for reelection on Thursday, offering the moderate governor some progressive heft as she faces a challenge from her political left in her campaign for a second full term in office.
In an op-ed in The Nation, Mamdani, a democratic socialist, noted his political differences with the governor, but wrote that he's “come to trust Governor Hochul as someone willing to engage in an honest dialogue that leads to results.”
