Mamdani, who describes himself as a Democratic socialist, won the Democratic mayoral primary in June, but some top Democratic leaders have kept their distance. Mamdani has been sharply critical of Israel's war in Gaza and once endorsed the idea of defunding the nypd, though he's walked back that stance. In her endorsement, Governor Hochul said she and Mamdani had our disagreements, but Hochul said Mamdani wants a safe, affordable New York City. Hochul also commended Mamdani, who's Muslim, for meeting with Jewish community leaders across the city. Her endorsement drew fire from Republican leaders who've sought to portray Mamdani as extreme. Mamdani faces current Mayor Eric Adams, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa on the November ballot. Brian Mann, NPR News, New York.
