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.

Edit: I think I read your post backwards. Leaving my old response below anyway.

Yes. Do you think a republican would be nicer to him?

Or do you not get how first past the post works?

If this lady is not to your liking, you primary her.

They aren't talking about her they are talking about the current Mayororal candidate she isn't supporting despite him being the Democratic nominee
