NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday urged New Yorkers to vote Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City, giving the Democratic nominee one of his most significant endorsements to date in the contest to lead the nation’s biggest city.

Writing in the New York Times’ opinion section, Hochul said that while she and Mamdani diverged on some issues, they came together on the importance of addressing the affordability crisis in the city and across the state.

“But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family,” wrote Hochul, a Democrat. “I heard a leader who is focused on making New York City affordable — a goal I enthusiastically support.”

The stunning success of Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, in the race for New York City mayor has exposed divisions within the Democratic Party as it struggles to repair its brand more than half a year into Donald Trump’s presidency. Hochul’s endorsement is the latest sign that Democratic leaders who had been skeptical of Mamdani’s liberal views are beginning to consolidate around him.

Mamdani thanked Hochul for the boost, saying it’s a sign “our movement is growing stronger.”

Schumer's owners/donors have him by the balls. Some of his public declarations got as close to an endorsement as possible without actually using the word endorsement.

He doesn't get credit for maybe almost endorsing if you read between the lines of what he's saying. He's a corpo dem and we need to rid ourselves of these. I'm in Illinois and personally, the sooner we're rid of Dick Durban the fucking better. We need these billionaire bootlicking democrats to be primaried across the board.

I'm definitely not giving credit (I was trying to explain not excuse). If anything he gets negative credit because he knows first hand the anti-Mamdani propaganda is bullshit but he's still to much of a coward to tell his more fascist-leaning donors to take a hike.
