Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) announced on Sunday that she is endorsing socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race.

Hochul’s endorsement came in an op-ed for the New York Times in which she said that while the two “don’t see eye to eye on everything,” she now sees Mamdani as a “leader who is focused on making New York City affordable.”
