Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?

Inside political circles, AOC’s aloof style becomes a factor

LEFT GUARD: The battle to own the progressive lane in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary is already brewing, with allies of Bronx Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California Rep. Ro Khanna launching recruitment efforts seeking to nudge them both into the race. The rival efforts are laying bare the aloof, tight-lipped way AOC’s political team operates behind the scenes as she continues to weigh whether to run for president or Senate. And the recruitment bids are also showing the central role of New York in the early days of the 2028 race. Last week, former NYC-DSA-endorsed Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Democratic strategist Nomiki Konst, two longtime operatives in New York politics, launched “Run Ro,” a new outside group aiming to push Khanna to run for president. And on Monday, progressives including Ravi Sahai, a former 2025 campaign staffer for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, launched “Ready for AOC.” New York City Democratic Socialists of America co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser are also behind the pro-AOC effort, two people familiar with the matter said. The move from Bowman and Konst to get behind Khanna — instead of their fellow New Yorker — has bewildered some in the state’s left-leaning political ecosystem. “It’s weird,”

Mamdani Budget Floats on Wall Street Cash as Momentum Grows for New Taxes

When the City Council and Mayor Zohran Mamdani agreed on a $127 billion budget last June, the story behind the story was obvious.

Veteran Dem strategist unleashes super PAC to block DSA in NY: ‘They’re not Democrats’

A veteran campaign strategist is repurposing his super PAC to block the expansion of the surging Democratic Socialists of America in New York. “They’re not Democrats,” railed Hank Sheinkopf, founder of the political action committee Protect Our Protectors. “They want to take apart the American system.” The pro-law enforcement PAC was unable to stop DSA member Zohran Mamdani in his successful run in last year’s Big Apple mayoral election, despite spending about $200,000 in the final stretch of the campaign. Political strategist Hank Sheinkopf is seen at WABC owner John Catsimatidis’ roundtable discussion in New York on Nov. 17, 2025. Stephen Yang for the NY Post NYC Mayor Mamdani hears testimony on a proposed horse and carriage ban and housing issues in the Blue Room at City Hall, Nov. 4, 2026. Robert Miller for NY Post Fast Takes: Gerrymandering lessons, who really flooded Gaza and more Sheinkopf, who worked on former President Bill Clinton’s re-election campaign and considers himself a moderate Democrat, accused the DSA of antisemitism in part because it supports the controversial boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Members, including Mamdani, have also accused Israel of genocide in its ongoing military action in Gaza. Some Jewish
