New York Governor Kathy Hochul Endorses Zohran Mamdani For NYC Mayor, Trump Warns Of Penalties | 4K

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has thrown her support behind New York City mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani, handing the Democratic state assemblyman one of his biggest endorsements yet. In a New York Times opinion piece, Hochul called Mamdani a “a leader who is focused on making New York City affordable” despite previous “disagreements”. The Democratic party has been deeply split on the 33-year-old’s candidacy, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, holding back their support. President Donald Trump has repeatedly described Mamdani as a “communist” and said that Hochul’s endorsement was a “shocking development”. Trump also appeared to warn of withholding federal funds from the state as punishment for Hochul’s endorsement. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
