New York Gov. Hochul Endorses Mamdani for Mayor of New York City
----------------------------------------------------------------

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of
New York City. Mamdani won the Democratic primary in June, but many
establishment Democrats have yet to endorse Mamdani, who identifies as a
democratic socialist. Hochul wrote online on Sunday, "New York City
deserves a mayor who will stand up to Donald Trump and make life more
affordable for New Yorkers. That's Zohran Mamdani."
