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.

As far as I'm concerned, Hochul can go right ahead and fuck herself on account of her attempted ratfucking of the congestion pricing, and doubly so for arbitrarily lowering the price and dealing a massive blow to future infrastructure in the process.

She also fucked over right to repair (unilaterally, after it passed).
