New York Governor Kathy Hochul supports the New York Town Hall candidate Zohran Mamdani

New York Governor Kathy Hochul approved Zohran Mamdana in the New York mayor’s elections.

Hochul, a democrat, supported Mamdani in an opinion of opinion from the New York Times published on Sunday evening.

“In recent months, I have had frank conversations with him,” said Hochul in the test. “We have had our disagreements. But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow safe in their neighborhood and where the opportunity is at hand for each family.”

Hochul said that she said “that it was very clear that our police should have all the resources to ensure the security of our streets and our metros. I urged him to ensure that there is a strong leadership at the head of the NYPD – and he accepted”.

Approval comes only a few days after Mamdani, a member of the State Assembly and the Democratic candidate for the mayor of New York, swore in an interview with Times to apologize for a statement he made on Twitter in 2020, calling the NYPD racist. Hochul said at a press conference last week that apologies were in order.

Mamdani’s attention to the cost of living is welcome, said Hochul on Sunday, and she also wants him to fight against the boom in anti -Semitism, supports city companies and resists all the possible attempts of the Trump administration to resume the streets of the city with federal agents and the National Guard.

“Zohran Mamdani and I will both be intrepid to confront the president’s extreme agenda-with urgency, conviction and challenge that defines New York,” she said.

In a statement on Sunday evening, Mamdani thanked Hochul.

“I can’t wait to fight alongside its history to put money in the pockets of New Yorkers and build a safer and stronger New York city where nobody is forced to go just so that they can afford to raise a family,” he said.
