Zohran Mamdani, a New York State Assembly member, has announced his endorsement of Kathy Hochul in the upcoming Democratic primary for governor. Hochul is currently competing against Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado for the party’s nomination.
The endorsement adds to Hochul’s support within the state’s Democratic ranks as the primary approaches. Both candidates are seeking to secure the nomination ahead of the general election later this year.
**Why this matters**
Endorsements from elected officials like Mamdani can influence voter perceptions and mobilize grassroots support. As the Democratic primary shapes the party’s candidate for governor, such backing may impact the dynamics of the race and voter turnout.
