Wait a Mam-oment.

Gov. Kathy Hochul isn’t ready to endorse socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run yet, she said Thursday – as she slammed his plans to raise taxes on the rich.

“I’m focused on affordability and raising taxes on anyone does not accomplish that,” she told reporters during an event at LaGuardia Airport.

“I’m making sure that people who create jobs will stay here so that we can have good paying jobs.”

Hochul’s wait-and-see approach on Mamdani came after the Queens assemblyman bested former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary – sending shockwaves across the nation and prompting soul-searching among moderate members of the party over its leftward drift.

The Democratic governor had congratulated Mamdani after his apparent win, but notably didn’t endorse him in November’s general election.

Mamdani’s campaign made waves with his people-pleasing proposals, such as free buses, city-run grocery stores, a rent freeze and raising the minimum wage to $30 an hour by 2030.

But the Democratic mayoral nominee’s many detractors have cast his promises – which carry a $10 billion a year price tag – as unrealistic and unaffordable.

Mamdani has proposed a 2% tax hike on New York City’s millionaires and another increase targeting big corporations to pay for his platforms.

But he’d need approval from Albany lawmakers and Hochul to raise taxes — and neither the state legislature nor the governor has an appetite for his proposal.

“As an assembly member, Mr. Mamdani knows that the state legislature and the governor has enormous say over decisions like those,” Hochul said. “So, we have a new session coming up, I’m always open to have conversations, whatever capacity he’s in.

“Obviously there’s areas of difference in our positions, but I also think that we need to have those conversations.”

As Hochul — who is up for re-election in 2026 — distanced herself from Mamdani’s socialist proposals, she also tried to claim he won on an affordability platform similar to her own.

The governor signed off on a massive $254 billion budget for next year that includes free school lunches, a middle class tax cut and “inflation refund” checks up to $400.

Mayor Eric Adams, a centrist Democrat, is running for re-election as an independent in the general – and Hochul said for now she’s going to keep “working close” with him.

Hochul praised Adams’ “City of Yes” housing push and efforts to keep subways safe.

“We’re six months away from inauguration day, and that will determine who I’m working with for the next four years,” she said.
