In a surprising move, New York Governor Kathy Hochul reportedly reached out to President-elect Donald Trump in what she described as a “very cordial” conversation, expressing an openness to work together on shared priorities. The call took place shortly after New York Attorney General Letitia James delivered a combative press conference flanked by Hochul, during which James vowed to continue pursuing legal challenges against Trump, implying her actions are in defense of vulnerable communities.
Hochul revealed the details of her call with Trump during a post-election event in Puerto Rico, emphasizing her willingness to work with any leader who aligns on certain key issues. “It was a very cordial call, and listen, I said I’ll work with anybody,” Hochul said, according to Politico. She added that their conversation focused on potential areas of cooperation, specifically noting infrastructure, where federal funding would be beneficial for state projects like the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Manhattan upgrades.

Her outreach to Trump, she explained, was a courtesy call to congratulate him on his electoral win and to initiate cooperation for the future.
