The New York City mayoral race has taken an unexpected turn, as reports from the state capital indicate Governor Kathy Hochul has endorsed Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic primary winner, for the position.
Zohran Mamdani is a self-described democratic socialist who secured the Democratic nomination in June, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The current mayor, Eric Adams, unable to secure his party’s nomination, is now running as an independent candidate.
