You gotta wonder how long Hochul can hold out against Mamdani's progressive push 
. I mean, she took him in as a protégé in Albany, now it's time for him to return the favor and get some major concessions 
. The bus fare-free plan is a no-brainer, it's just about finding a sweet spot on the income tax hike that'll make everyone happy 
. Mamdani needs to tread carefully here, can't afford to alienate his base or lose Hochul's support entirely 
. His Albany credentials are definitely a plus, but you also need to know how to work with people and get things done – wish him luck on that front
