Days after being called “Stauunch Capitalist” before sitting with the socialist Zohran Mamdani, Kathy Hochul approves him | Luck
On Sunday, the Kathy Hochul government urged the New Yorkers to vote for the mayor of New York, which provided one of his most important approval to the leadership of the largest city of the nation.
Writing The New York Times“The section of opinion, Hochul, said that while she and Mamdani differed in some outline, they combine the importance of solving the crisis of availability in the city and throughout the state.
Just four days ago, Hochul sat down with Bloomberg and sang a very different melody. She called like “Stauunch Capitalist” and said she would soon sit down with Mamdani and clarify some things. “The city of New York, as powerful and powerful as it is, is still a division of the state, so any tax increase must come across my table first.” Mamdani, race, tax activist included a new tax on millionaires and increase the income tax rate.
“In our interviews,” Hochul wrote in Time“I have heard a leader who shares my commitment to New York, where children can grow safe in their neighborhoods and where there is an opportunity for every family within reach,” wrote Hochul, Democrat, served next to Mamdani’s mayor, Andrew Cuomo, after winning two elections as a guardian. In June, Mamdani shocked observation by convincing Cuomo in a democratic primary. “I have heard a leader who focuses on New York City is affordable – a goal that I enthusiastically supports,” Hochul added.
The amazing success of Mamdani, a 33 -year -old self -written democratic socialist, has exhibitions with a democratic party in the Mayor of New York because he is trying to repair his brand for more than half a year to Donald Trump’s Presidency. Hochul’s approval is the latest sign that democratic leaders who were skeptical about Mamdani’s liberal views begin to consolidate around him.
Mamdani thanked Hochul for his support and said it was a sign “our movement is growing stronger”.
“Governor Hochul Has Made Affordability The Centerpiece of Her Work. I Look Forward to Fighting Alongside Her to Continue Her Track Record of Putting Money In and Stament Sunday Night. ”I’M Grateful To the Governor for Her Support in Unifying Our Party – As Well As Work She’s Done Standing Trump, Securing Free Lunch Meals for Our Children and Expanding Children Care. ”
In recent weeks, other candidates in the race – train governments Andrew Cuomo, reigning mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa – intensified in November criticism in November. President Donald Trump thinks that Mamdani is likely to win, as he said at the weekend, while criticizing Sliwa as “not the main time”, including his well -known hobby of the adoption of rescue cats.
Hochul said another reason why she decided to support Mamdani, his promise to cause New York’s Scripture to have the resources she needs to keep the streets and the metro safe.
“I urged him to ensure that there was a strong lead to help NYPD – and he agreed,” Hochul wrote.
Mamdani, who leads in public opinion surveys, was not approved by some prominent democrats, belonged to Chuck Schumer and Hake Jeffries, a minority leader in the US Senate and the house.
The US Republican leadership Fleshwoman Elise Stefanik, a New York congressman, said Hochul’s consent was a sign that the governor moves to falling voting numbers.
“At the exact moment New Yords are looking for strong leadership from their governor with most against Mamdani Zohran, Kathy Hochul includes this raging communist who will destroy New York to be less affordable and greater danger – again built criminals and Yorkers,” Stefanik said on Sunday.
Mamdani defeated Cuomo in a democratic primary. Since then, Cuomo has launched his campaign as independent. Adams, Democrat, skipped the primary run as independent in November. Sliwa ran in the Republican primary unprotection.
Hochul served as a governor of Lieutenant Cuomo and replaced him after resigning in 2021 after the dam of the accusation of sexual harassment. During the campaign he denied the unlawful conduct and claimed that the scandal was managed by politics.
