Brooklyn Democrats withdraw Hochul endorsement after Adams pick

Brooklyn's largest county Democratic committee rescinded its endorsement of Gov. Kathy Hochul after she selected Adrienne Adams as her running mate, with Brooklyn leader Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn criticizing the move as a lack of consultation. The surprise pick could complicate Hochul’s reelection bid amid a primary challenge from Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, and some Brooklyn leaders expressed opposition to Adams while others defended the all-women ticket.
