The Brooklyn Democratic Party has withdrawn its endorsement of Gov. Kathy Hochul ahead of the state Democratic Party’s nominating convention, the news outlet Hell Gate reported, an unusual break from a sitting governor by one of the state’s largest county organizations as she heads into her reelection campaign.

According to Hell Gate, the move by the Brooklyn party and its chair, Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, came in the same week Hochul would otherwise have appeared to be in a commanding position. The outlet reported that Hochul leads comfortably in polls for her reelection bid and that her approval ratings are higher than ever.
