Kathy Hochul's Endorsement Backfires in NY Mayoral Debate as Zohran Mamdani Ditches Her, Leaving Many in a Frenzy.

Zohran Mamdani, the NYC socialist mayoral candidate, has sparked outrage on Thursday after he bluntly declined to endorse Governor Kathy Hochul during a debate stage despite her previous backing of him.

Mamdani's decision was met with strong rebuke from Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik, who suggested that Hochul had made a miscalculation in endorsing Mamdani and that she would be "the biggest loser" in the election if he were to win.

Stefanik's scathing comments came as surprise to many given that Hochul had endorsed Mamdani last month after facing pressure from her party to get on board with the leading candidate. Hochul had stated that New York City deserved a mayor who would stand up for Donald Trump and make life more affordable for New Yorkers, saying "That's @ZohranKMamdani."

However, when asked about his stance on Hochul during the debate, Mamdani chose not to endorse her, stating that he was focusing on the November general election rather than endorsing any candidate prior to then.

Mamdani's non-endorsement has left many in a frenzy as some critics feel it is an indication of Mamdani's willingness to distance himself from Hochul if she does not continue to support him after his campaign concludes.

The controversy surrounding Hochul's endorsement and Mamdani's decision not to endorse her highlights the growing tensions within the Democratic party, which has led to many calling for Hochul to reevaluate her stance on the socialist candidate.

In a press release, Rep. Stefanik referred to Hochul as the "biggest loser" in the debate given that none of the three candidates expressed support for her.

Mamdani's comment on the debate stage drew criticism from others who chimed in on social media suggesting that Hochul had made a miscalculation in endorsing Mamdani, with some labeling him a "jihadist and terrorist sympathizer."
 
idk why Hochul thought endoing Mamdani would get her brownie points πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. now she's all stuck on the loser train πŸš‚. honestly i think she should've just kept quiet about it, didn't wanna rock the boat πŸ›₯️. mamdani's not gonna endorse anyone till the general election tho, that's the way he wants it πŸ’―. it's funny how Hochul's party is all bent outta shape over this πŸ˜‚. Stefanik's just trying to distract from her own messes πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ. what do u think, did Hochul really just get taken for a ride?
 
omg did u see zohran mamdani ditch kathy hochul on live tv? 🀯 she was expecting that endorsement for sure πŸ€‘ now im not saying mamdani is bad but i do think hochul made a big mistake by backing him like, what if he doesn't even end up winin the election or somethin? πŸ€” also steanik's comments were lowkey savage lol πŸ˜‚ guess you could say Hochul got played πŸ‘€
 
I gotta say, this whole thing is giving me major anxiety vibes πŸ€•. I mean, Kathy Hochul just threw her support behind Zohran Mamdani, thinking it'd help him out, but now he's ghosting her? 😳 That's like, total betrayal, you know? And Elise Stefanik low-key roasting her for it? πŸ‘€ Not cool, Rep. Stefanik. Not cool at all.

But what really gets me is how Hochul thought she was being supportive and inclusive by backing Mamdani in the first place πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. I mean, I get why you'd want to be friendly with a potential opponent, but this just feels like a PR move gone wrong.

It's also making me think about how much drama there is within the Democratic party right now 😩. It's like they're all trying to one-up each other, and it's hard to see what's really going on behind the scenes. 🀐 Anyway, gotta keep an eye on this one...
 
OMG, what is going on with Kathy Hochul? She just endorsed this guy Zohran Mamdani thinking he'd be all cool with her, but NOPE! He basically told her to bug off during that debate stage πŸ˜‚. I mean, I get it, he's running for mayor and doesn't wanna be tied down yet, but still... it's a major mess. And now this Rep Elise Stefanik is like "ha! I knew you'd lose" πŸ™„. But honestly, who did Hochul think was gonna endorse her? Like, she's the Governor and all, but politics can be super weird πŸ˜’. Anyway, it's clear there's some drama going on in the Dem party...
 
I'm low-key surprised that Zohran Mamdani didn't play it safe and endorse Kathy Hochul πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, who doesn't love a good politician who's willing to take a risk, right? 😏 Stefanik is salty tho, I guess she was expecting some kind of free pass from Hochul just because she's the governor πŸ™„. Mamdani's decision is def making people talk though - it's not every day you see someone call out Hochul like that in a debate πŸ’¬. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out πŸ€”. One thing for sure tho, Hochul better be ready for the fallout if she can't make Mamdani happy πŸ˜‚.
 
πŸ€” I was listening to this news and it reminded me of when Obama endorsed Hillary for the presidential election back in 2016. Remember how that went? πŸ˜‚ Anyway, I think Hochul's endorsement might have been like endorsing a friend who joins Team Kardashian - you're still friends, but there's some distance now πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Mamdani's not endorsing her and that's making a lot of people upset, kinda like when Kanye changed his Twitter bio from 'George W Bush does not care about black people' to just 'Yeezus' πŸ˜‚. This whole thing is like the plot of a TV drama - you never know what's gonna happen next! πŸ“Ί
