Often time people say “oh a lot of Mamdani’s policies will fail because Hochul will block them”

But this is the thing, Hochul isn’t popular, and if she blocks popular proposals, it won’t be a case of people being mad at Mamdani for failing to deliver. It will be people mad at her for blocking them.

Hochul needs NYC to vote for her to win the governor reelection, let alone the dem primary. Her pissing off a popular mobilized voting block in NYC is an awful strategy, and probably would loose her the governorship.
