New York Governor Stands Behind Zohran Mamdani for Mayor
(MENAFN) New York Governor Kathy Hochul gave her full endorsement to Democratic mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani on Sunday, calling him the right leader for New York City’s future. Taking to the social media platform X, Hochul declared, "New York City deserves a mayor who will stand up to (President) Donald Trump and make life more affordable for New Yorkers," naming Mamdani as that person.
In an in-depth opinion piece for The New York Times, Hochul explained that, despite occasional disagreements, it was essential for her to support a candidate who would firmly resist Trump’s influence. She emphasized the importance of having a mayor who would not yield to Trump, especially given the "abhorrent and destructive policies" emanating from Washington.
Hochul expressed her belief in Mamdani’s ability to lead the city through its challenges with the necessary courage and optimism. “Zohran Mamdani and I will both be fearless in confronting the president’s extreme agenda — with urgency, conviction, and the defiance that defines New York. And we must never allow Mr. Trump to control our city like the king he wants to be. Anyone who accepts his tainted influence, or benefits from it, is compromised from the start,”
Looking to the future, the governor expressed her confidence in New York City’s potential and her enthusiasm to work alongside Mamdani to chart a brighter course. She conveyed her belief that the city's most promising days are still to come, reaffirming her unwavering support for the mayoral candidate.
