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.

I'm worried the Democrats are going to come out of their collective hole and pretend this was their idea from the beginning and poison zohran's policies somehow until he's too ineffective and unpopular to continue.

Worst case scenario in my head, but I don't feel it's unwarranted. Dem party fucked over Bernie and now that they have no credibility they'll drag everyone into the mud.
