Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed lefty Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani for mayor in a bombshell Sunday guest essay — after her camp tried to keep the candidate at arm’s length through the campaign.
“The question of who will be the next mayor is one I take extremely seriously and to which I have devoted a great deal of thought,” Hochul wrote in a New York Times Opinion piece published Sunday night.
“Tonight I am endorsing Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani,” she said.
Hochul’s likely endorsement of Mamdani was first reported by The Post earlier Sunday evening.
Before her official endorsement was announced, the governor said she had “frank” discussions with Mamdani, but confidently landed on endorsing the lefty candidate despite their “disagreements.”
“In the past few months, I’ve had frank conversations with him. We’ve had our disagreements,” Hochul wrote in the guest essay.
“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. I heard a leader who is focused on making New York City affordable — a goal I enthusiastically support,” she said.
Among the talking points the governor said she discussed with the mayoral frontrunner were affordability, ensuring strong leadership “at the helm” of the NYPD, and “urgently” tackling the “rise of antisemitism” across the five boroughs.

Hochul is announcing now that she’s a Communist.
I’m Shocked
she will need a burka then....some day
Hooray Satan!
The insanity is strong in that one....
She’d walk a million miles,
For one of his smiles,
Zoltan Mandami.
Because if so, she sold NYS voters a bill of goods. We do not appreciate the bait and switch.
Put it in the Federal Regigister.
Oops. U get it.
Of course she did, one Jew hater endorsing another Jew hater its a match made in heaven
There’s something fishy about this whole deal.
Guy appears, almost out of nowhere, with a message that is the opposite of everything the country stands for and seemingly overnight becomes the overwhelming favorite to become mayor to the largest city in the United States.
It feels like an intelligence op.
BTTT
Good timing for her since it’s doubtful they will be able to suppress news of DSA payments to the assassin.
Stupid move. If she had wanted to help her State, she would have continued to hold off on endorsing him. But now, the Republicans running in swing districts will find it easier to brand ALL Democrats as Communists - which will make it easier for Republicans to hold on to the House.
Guess the Party pressure was too much for her.
She’s an idiot and a puppet of NY’s woke/prog controllers in NY City and Albany.
Is she running again?
In other words she is distancing herself from that man, and her own endorsement of that man, so when he acts like the Antichrist she can claim some kind of immunity.
Smart women:
Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict.
She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands. She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.
Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked,’Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?
‘The woman looked Ms Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said, “Land mines.”
Moral of the story is (no matter what language you speak or where you go)
BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE’S A SMART WOMAN
