Hochul mocked after Mamdani refuses to back governor’s re-election — despite her endorsement in NYC mayor’s race

Kathy Hochul is facing backlash after her endorsement of Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race was not returned, leading to mockery from potential Republican opponent Elise Stefanik. This situation highlights the challenges Hochul may face in her re-election campaign, especially as endorsements are crucial for political support. The refusal from Mamdani, a left-leaning candidate, raises questions about party unity and the dynamics within the Democratic Party as they gear up for future elections.
