Both candidates are making campaign stops ahead of voting. On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani are expected to make their first joint campaign appearance in Brooklyn. The two were in the Bronx earlier this week for a childcare announcement, and Hochul is highlighting their partnership as part of her campaign message. "As New York's first mom and grandmother governor, childcare is personal to me. That's why I'm proud to work alongside Zohran Mamdani to bring New York one step closer to universal childcare," Hochul said in a social media video. Meanwhile, Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman says he's not concerned about Hochul appearing alongside the mayor. In fact, he says the partnership helps his campaign by reminding voters that the governor is aligned with a self-described democratic socialist mayor.
