Apparently, Zohran Mamdani is a bridge too far even for Kathy Hochul, at least so far. Hochul is hedging on whether or not she plans on endorsing Mamdani.
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul slights Zohran Mamdani in live TV reality check, hints she may not endorse: ‘Many differences’ https://t.co/2UG3DE4ZTG pic.twitter.com/CN1yO5m9tf

Gov. Kathy Hochul slighted mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani in a live TV interview Sunday — signaling she may not endorse him in the election even after he praised her “courage.”
“We still have many differences,” Hochul said, keeping her distance from her fellow Democrat during a Fox News Sunday interview. “I don’t know how you whitewash that away.”
Fox host Shannon Bream had read a statement from Mamdani effusively praising Hochul for sparring with President Trump and Republicans over redistricting fights that could dictate who controls Congress. Mamdani said Hochul showed “courage” and was “meeting the moment.”
Apparently, she doesn't have enough courage to support him publicly though. Lulz.
She’s seen the poll numbers.

Yes he is basically a Hamas operative and you have injected so much botulinum toxin into your face you can’t feel feelings anymore.

Harsh, but fair.
She looks TERRIBLE

The evil is seeping out of her pores.
He’s that extreme that even Hochul won’t endorse him.

That's the terrifying part.
She wants more money

She should demand millions if she is going to ruin what is left her name to align with that baby Commie.

There needs to be all need leadership all around.
When a governor publicly distances herself from a rising progressive, it’s not just “differences” — it’s a signal to the establishment about who’s welcome at the table, and who will be kept outside the door.

They need to keep him outside the house and very far from the table.
Hochul can’t support this - yet Jews are actually supporting Mamdani even after he says Israel doesn’t exist as a state and supports Globalist intifada - WAKE UP!

It's pretty shocking.
Why does she always have a wonky eye?

The crazy is always in the eyes.
Wow! Is that moron coming to her senses? 🤔

Even she has some limitations for her own self-protection.
If she thought for one second that aligning with him would benefit her in any way shape or form she would be all over that. These people are narcissist and opportunist. Nothing more, nothing less.

Absolutely. She clearly doesn't think a partnership with him would benefit her.
