Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani has refused to back New York Governor Kathy Hochul after the Hochul backed up Mamdani in a New York Times opinon piece over the weekend. Hochul had said that she found common ground with the socialist candidate.
Hochul endorsed Mamdani on Sunday, saying that despite her disagreements with Mamdani, she would support him in his candidacy for mayor of New York City. However, on Monday, Mamdani did not return the favor. When he was asked by reporters about endorsing Hochul, he responded that is was premature to ask abot “the thing beyond the thing,” per the New York Post.
“My focus is on November, and I’m excited to have the governor’s support in that fight for November,” the left-wing candidate added. The failure to endorse Hochul in return drew a reaction, incluing from Rep. Elise Stefanik, who said the snub against Hochul made the New York goveror look weak in her leadership role.
“Even Mamdani refuses to support Kathy Hochul less than 24 hours after she endorsed him!” Stefanik posted to X.

Spanberger has 49% support among registered Virginia voters compared to Earle-Sears’s 40% support, according to a Sept. 9 poll released by Virginia Commonwealth University’s L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs. Two months prior, Earle-Sears had 37% support. Spanberger’s percentage remains unchanged.
The latest results suggest that while Earle-Sears has been slowly closing the gap, it may not be enough to overtake Spanberger less than two months before Election Day. Early voting in Virginia’s gubernatorial election begins on Friday, Sept. 19.
Less than half of independent voters, 48%, remain undecided about the race.
Pollster L. Douglas Wilder, the Democratic governor of Virginia from 1990 to 1994, said the election will be determined by independent and undecided voters. He also stressed the national significance of the state race this election cycle.
“With Virginia and New Jersey being the only states holding elections in November, there is much speculation as to what these results portend for the political landscape, not just for the Commonwealth, but across the nation,” Wilder said.
The poll shows other Democratic candidates leading their Republican counterparts.
