NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she is endorsing Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the NYC Mayoral race.

Hochul tweeted on Sunday saying, "New York City deserves a mayor who will stand up to Donald Trump and make life more affordable for New Yorkers. That's Zohran Mamdani."

She explained her endorsement in a New York Times Op-Ed.

"In the past few months, I've had frank conversations with him. We've had our disagreements. But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family. I heard a leader who is focused on making New York City affordable - a goal I enthusiastically support," Hochul wrote.

Mamdani responded on Sunday saying he was grateful for Hochul's support in unifying the party.
