Gov. Hochul says she’s not backing Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor — slamming his plan to tax the rich.

Well, well, well… looks like not all Democrats are ready to endorse socialism, and Governor Kathy Hochul (D) is making it clear that she is NOT throwing her weight behind communist candidate Zohran Mamdani, as she slammed his plans on taxing 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.

“I’m making sure that people who create jobs will stay here so that we can have good paying jobs.”

Mamdani has proposed a 2% tax hike on New York City’s millionaires and another increase targeting big corporations to pay for his platforms.

But he’d need approval from Albany lawmakers and Hochul to raise taxes — and neither the state legislature nor the governor has an appetite for his proposal, according to the NY Post.

“As an assembly member, Mr. Mamdani knows that the state legislature and the governor has enormous say over decisions like those,” Hochul said.

Mayor Eric Adams, a centrist Democrat, is running for re-election as an independent in the general – and Hochul said for now she’s going to keep “working close” with him.
