Governor Kathy Hochul has publicly declared her support for Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City. This announcement places Mamdani’s candidacy under the spotlight, underscoring the significance of state-level endorsements in a high-profile local race.

At a Brooklyn Men’s Day event, NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani encountered more than a typical campaign stop when he struggled with a 135-pound bench press. Hosted by 500 Men Making a Difference, the gathering put his physical determination on display alongside his political aspirations.

In the first NYC mayoral debate, Zohran Mamdani emerged as a transformative figure, pushing opponents to elevate their promises while Andrew Cuomo strategically dodged attacks.
