That's happening because "Ms. Hochul, ... is facing re-election this year, [and] needs Mr. Mamdani’s help in turning out Democratic voters in New York City." After she's securely in office for another 4 year term, who knows how willing she'll be to do those same deals.

If he delivers NYC, then he owns her, and she'll have to come through with the favors.

Or what? There's no election for years.

What? There's an election every year, especially in cities and states. There will be an election 2027, too.

Only if she thinks he’ll still be in power next time she faces election.
