Gov. Kathy Hochul isn’t ready to endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run yet, she said Thursday – as she slammed his plans to raise taxes on the rich.

“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,” she told reporters during an event at LaGuardia Airport.

The Democratic governor had congratulated Mamdani after his apparent win, but notably didn’t endorse him in November’s general election.

no rot spreading

what we are seeing is and has always been the Democrat party

Obama chose someone who supports segregation and that same person later became president, Harris hosted a celebrity filled gala and invited Republicans while citizens who were refused entry protested outside for everything the Democrats supposedly stand for, Walz as a governor teamed up with Trump to use police to manhandle pipeline protestors, and the list goes on
