NYC Mayor’s Race: Hochul endorsement of Mamdani gets mixed reactions from Jewish advocates

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s endorsement of Zohran Mamdani boosted his candidacy, but may have deepened the divide among several groups, including Jewish voters, where various stands have polarized the electorate.

Hochul, in endorsing “33-year-old assemblyman from Queens” and Democratic mayoral nominee, said the two “don’t see eye to eye on everything, and I don’t expect us to” in a statement that at times focused on differences.
