New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed openness to campaigning with Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) as she prepares to face Republican nominee Bruce Blakeman, signaling a warming relationship between the two Democrats who represent different factions of the party.

Asked Thursday whether he would support Hochul’s reelection campaign following a recent poll showing Blakeman just 10 points behind the incumbent, Mamdani said he would.
