Rep. Elise Stefanik on Wednesday accused New York Gov. Kathy Hochul of staying silent after New York City mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani signaled support for Palestinian activist Aber Kawas in a Queens Assembly race, arguing Hochul “owns” the move because she endorsed Mamdani’s mayoral bid.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for her 2026 reelection bid, citing their successful collaboration on universal childcare. The endorsement highlights a new era of cooperation between City Hall and Albany despite policy differences. Mamdani praised Hochul's commitment to delivering tangible results for working families.
