Hochul Veto Protects Mamdani's Mayoral Power
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani secures a victory as Governor Kathy Hochul vetoes a bill that would have limited his power. The veto prevents the City Council from changing the citys constitution, which requires voter approval. The Council had proposed measures to address corruption scandals, including a process to remove a mayor found guilty of misconduct and more authority over mayoral appointments. Mayor Adams previously used his own charter commission to limit the Councils power over land-use decisions, and political observers expect Mamdani to follow suit.
