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.

It's OK, he doesn't need her endorsement anyway, just the electorate's. At this stage I think an establishment democrat endorsement will do more harm to Mamdani's campaign than this shun will do.

What a load of fucking bullshit. Rich people can afford to pay more in taxes. That’s why they pay more in taxes.
