Mamdani Backs Hochul, Bolstering NY Progressive Lane

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is set to endorse Gov. Kathy Hochul’s reelection bid, a move that would bolster Hochul’s appeal to left-leaning voters ahead of the state Democratic convention while highlighting tensions with Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado, who is courting the party’s left flank; the endorsement could affect the primary dynamics as both leaders pursue overlapping progressive goals.
