Bronx Rep. Ritchie Torres’ months-long mudslinging campaign against Gov. Kathy Hochul is officially over as he formally endorsed the incumbent Democrat for reelection Tuesday.

Torres, who six months ago called Hochul’s reelection “an electoral train wreck waiting to happen” is now coalescing around the deeply unpopular governor, saying she’s “the kind of leadership we need right now.”

“She’s not performative, she’s substantive. She’s focused on solving problems, and that’s the kind of leadership we need right now,” Torres wrote in a statement released shortly after announcing the endorsement on News 12.

“Now, more than ever, it’s important for every Democrat and every New Yorker to stand with the Governor as she fights with New York and fights against the Trump administration,” Torres added.

The former city councilman once publicly toyed with the idea of a primary challenge against Hochul. Torres repeatedly put her on blast over an array of topics, including open-air drug use in the Bronx, the transition of a $9 billion Medicaid homecare program and dragging her feet on combatting antisemitism by banning mask wearing.

Amongst those criticisms, Torres once said Hochul is “fundamentally ineffective at governing” and “I’m not here to go along to get along. I’m here to be a teller of hard truths.”

Hochul, who appeared with Torres Monday at a rally against President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” in the Bronx, celebrated officially burying the hatchet.

“Congressman Torres and I haven’t always agreed on everything, but we know what matters most: delivering a safer, more affordable New York for every family and coming together to fight back against Donald Trump,” Hochul wrote in a statement.

Hochul is facing a primary challenge from Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado.

North Country GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) says she’ll make a decision about a potential gubernatorial run by the end of the year. Another GOP rival, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) announced he would not run last month.
