NY Governor Kathy Hochul under fire for endorsing mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani​

Fox News senior correspondent Eric Shawn reports on New York Governor Kathy Hochuls endorsement of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Special Report.
It took four months, but one of the top Democrats in New York State has finally endorsed New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.

With Election Day closing in, Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the top Democrat in the U.S. House, on Friday announced his support for Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist state lawmaker from the New York City borough of Queens, in a statement to the New York Times.

"Zohran Mamdani has relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis and explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers, including those who do not support his candidacy," Jeffries said.


Jeffries added: "In that spirit, I support him and the entire citywide Democratic ticket in the general election."

Jeffries acknowledged in his statement that he has "areas of principled disagreement" with Mamdani.

Jeffries, whose congressional district covers much of neighboring Brooklyn, becomes the second major New York State Democrat to back Mamdani, following a late September endorsement from Gov. Kathy Hochul.

The endorsement from Jeffries comes the day before early voting begins in New York City on Saturday.

The top two Democrats in the New York State legislature backed Mamdani days after the governor announced her support.

The endorsements from Jeffries and Hochul may put intense pressure on longtime Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, who is the top Democrat in the Senate, to also back Mamdani in an election that is a little over a week away

I hope they pick Sliwa. A Muslim Communist will be very bad for NYC.
Where did this jerkwad even come from?
He seems manufactured, like Obama. Sliwa I've seen since the 80s. He's American and NYC, and that's what you get.
Guardian Angels are better than Muslim Commies.

So, a Socialist/Communist as mayor of NYC is just swell, Anchovies.

This is why you far left loons lost, Anchovies.

So years of Democrat mayors and Democrat run city government have made it too expensive to live in NYC. So what is the solution :unsure: by Democrats ,ELECT ANOTHER DEMOCRAT MAYOR? Nope elect a /Democrat/Socialist/Communist mayor. Yeah that is going to work great.

:facepalm:

Tiresome having to continuously educate uninformed MAGA

Socialism is an economic system, Communism is political, they are not automatically convergent, the Scandinavian nations prove that fact

Hate to bust your bubble, but America has been partial socialistic since the 19th Century, in fact, no nation in the world is pure socialist nor capitalist, they are all mixed economies

And NYC has had social Democrat Mayors before, in fact, one of its greatest proudly referee to himself as a social Democrat
If you need any further education on facts feel free to ask
