Gov. Kathy Hochul embraced mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani Tuesday — calling him “eminently reasonable” and claiming they’ll find a way to cover the tab for his socialist dreams without raising taxes.
Hochul offered her comrade in the Big Apple mayor’s race a political lifeline during a news conference in Queens, telling reporters the pair would somehow scrounge up funds for the Democratic nominee’s top agenda items, such as universal childcare.
“I found him to be eminently rational and understands this is something that would take an act of the legislature and the governor to sign,” Hochul said when asked if she thought she could bring Mamdani around to backing off his tax-the-rich plan.
“And so he’s wants to work with me on this, and we don’t have the details flushed out,” she add
