23. Primaries are important to voters and a great way to know other candidates that don't have as

high a profile as a current Governor. I am quite sure Mamdani will endorse Hochel if she wins the primary. And I’m sure he will endorse any Democrat who wins the Democratic nomination for Governor.

Not Picking sides in a Democratic primary makes sense to me. And the Daily News is simply trying to stir something up — which also makes sense for the Daily News. Sad to see Democrats expecting Mamdani to choose one Dem over another when it’s possible Delgado could win and be the candidate. And others could enter the race still.

This is timely, since I did wonder what he has ever done for her Nixie Sep 2025 #1

Why is he "required" to stick his nose in a primary after she did the right thing and endorsed the Democratic nominee? Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2025 #3

What are you talking about? What have you got against NYDN? lapucelle Sep 2025 #5

NYDN is a blue collar tabloid with a Democratic / liberal editorial board and arguably the best sports pages in NYC. lapucelle Sep 2025 #7

Oh, ok. LMAO Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2025 #8

Is a 4 year old front page and a facebook meme from 10 years ago the best ya got? lapucelle Sep 2025 #10

. Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2025 #15

Yes, well, I suppose some folks would pick pop star front pages as their most iconic. lapucelle Sep 2025 #21

However, if you asked New Yorkers or print journalists to choose their most iconic NYDN front page, lapucelle Sep 2025 #22

Momdani's "lavish" 3-day wedding also made the news! Nixie Sep 2025 #25

Did someone yell hey rube down at the bingo hall? Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2025 #38

I've only seen pictures of Bernie's bingo halls. Maybe that's why Nixie Sep 2025 #41

So for those who don't know what the word "tabloid" means, this is why the NYDN is classified as a tabloid. lapucelle Sep 2025 #52

You are not helping your case. Try Merriam-Webster: Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2025 #53

Oh dear. lapucelle Sep 2025 #54

And in the rush to post your Britney Spears photo, you appeared to have missed this. lapucelle Sep 2025 #13

Because there was a thread that "Democrats MUST ENDORSE all Democrats". LeftInTX Sep 2025 #16

You know Hochul is entering a contested primary against OTHER DEMOCRATIC candidates for the job, yes? An actual primary Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2025 #17

I forgot about the primary LeftInTX Sep 2025 #18

Mentioning the word "primary" would have removed 90% of the argle gargle outrage intended in the clickbait headline Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2025 #39

The headline that cost a Republican the presidency... lapucelle Sep 2025 #49

Endorsing someone from the same party SocialDemocrat61 Sep 2025 #4

Mamdani encouraged folks not to vote for the Democratic presidential candidate in the primary, lapucelle Sep 2025 #6

I think that's fine what he did but the ones that then attack Jefferies JI7 Sep 2025 #20

This is a ridiculous argument UniqueUserName Sep 2025 #31

Well, how about that he didn't endorse Biden or Harris last year either. MichMan Sep 2025 #51

I'm going to ignore this trend of pushing for early endorsements that is suddenly happening. Quiet Em Sep 2025 #12

And just like that, endorsements don't matter. betsuni Sep 2025 #14

She probably doesn't want his endorsement JI7 Sep 2025 #19

Primaries are important to voters and a great way to know other candidates that don't have as Nanjeanne Sep 2025 #23

Please stop making sense. Incanus Sep 2025 #24

+2 this is the reason. Emile Sep 2025 #27

I wouldn't be so sure of that, he failed to publicly endorsed Kamala Harris during her campaign. tritsofme Sep 2025 #28

He wasn't a politician then. Emile Sep 2025 #30

Yes he was. He has had a seat in the NYS Assembly since 2020. N/T lapucelle Sep 2025 #44

Oh please, how many NYS Assembly members endorsed candidates? Emile Sep 2025 #45

You said "He wasn't a politician then [in 2024]". I simply said "Yes he was". lapucelle Sep 2025 #46

LOL Emile Sep 2025 #47

Why are you sure that "he will endorse any Democrat who wins the Democratic nomination for Governor" lapucelle Sep 2025 #33

Because now he is running for Mayor of NYC and will be working with the elected Democratic Governor. Nanjeanne Sep 2025 #34

If Mamdani wins, he will be working with Kathy Hochul for the full first year of his term. lapucelle Sep 2025 #36

Okey Dokey Nanjeanne Sep 2025 #40

Fair point JustAnotherGen Sep 2025 #43

Yup, I say don't expect him to endorse but also don't demand JI7 Sep 2025 #48

Ah yeah JustAnotherGen Sep 2025 #50

Is she the democratic nominee? SSJVegeta Sep 2025 #26

If I were Mamdani, I'd do the same thing - Hochul waits almost 3 months to endorse after he won the primary and Midwestern Democrat Sep 2025 #29

Hochul will be the governor for Mamdani's first year in office, and, as mayor, Mamdani will be powerless lapucelle Sep 2025 #37

This might be good for the governor karynnj Sep 2025 #35
