Mamdani endorses Hochul but Brooklyn's party causes confusion

This week, Gov. Kathy Hochul selected former City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as her pick for lieutenant governor ahead of the Democratic State Convention. But the move sparked discontent from the leader of the Brooklyn Democratic Party. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli break down Hochul's choice. After that, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing growing scrutiny following a severe cold snap that has left 17 people dead outdoors. While the mayor initially received praise for his handling of the snowstorm, more critics are emerging, criticizing the administration's response. The "Off Topic" team weighs in on whether the honeymoon for Mayor Mamdani and for New York City may already be over.
