Gov. Kathy Hochul isn’t ready to endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run yet, she said Thursday – as she slammed his plans to raise taxes on the rich.
“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,” she told reporters during an event at LaGuardia Airport.
The Democratic governor had congratulated Mamdani after his apparent win, but notably didn’t endorse him in November’s general election.
Like, this literally helps affordability.
It’s so fucking weird to me that they act like the government can run without taxes.
It’s because they don’t actually give a shit about affordability. They just don’t wanna pay taxes.
