There's no DSA candidate in the primary. Hochul was running against another centrist (who has since withdrawn due to no chance of winning).

edit: can the downvoter please name the DSA candidate in the 2026 NY gubernatorial election, it should be pretty easy to find since I linked the article if they exist
You are correct and I was misinformed, but not by much.
Andrew Delgados running mate India Walton is a DSA member who Mamdani supported earlier. And the DSA is mostly supporting Delgado over Hochul, which has garnered a lot of DSA criticism for Mamdani backing Hochul.
