00:00New York Governor Kathy Hochul is now throwing her support behind progressive Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani in the race for New York City mayor,
00:12saying she needs to know the next mayor won't, quote, surrender one inch to President Trump.
00:17In a New York Times op-ed, Hochul says her top concern is affordability and that Mamdani shares that priority.
00:25But she also made it clear police must have every resource they need to keep the streets and the subways safe.
00:32She also urged Mamdani to treat the fight against anti-Semitism as urgent.
00:38Hochul admits they don't agree on everything, but says he has the courage and optimism to lead the city.
00:44Right now, Mamdani is leading in the polls, ahead of former Governor Andrew Cuomo, current Mayor Eric Adams and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa.
00:52President Trump has taken notice calling Mamdani a, quote, communist and radical left lunatic and warning that if Mamdani wins, he will come calling to the federal government for money.
