After months of planning, some griping and a few tit-for-tats, the three top Democrats from New York and New Jersey showed up to watch the World Cup \u2014 together.<\/p>\n
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are all attending this evening\u2019s Brazil\u2013Morocco match.<\/p>\n
The TV broadcast captured the two New Yorkers sitting together. Sherrill also joined them during the match.<\/p>\n
Before heading into the stadium, Sherrill stepped off a New Jersey Transit train carrying fans from both teams just before 4 p.m. to hold a quick press conference with her top transit advisers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the easiest, fastest way to get in and out of the stadium,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
New Jersey Transit generated international headlines for its high ticket prices \u2014 $150 at first, then lowered to $98.<\/p>\n
Sherrill said about 21,000 people booked tickets on the New Jersey Transit system to get to the match. New Jersey Transit planned to carry up to 40,000 to each match.<\/p>\n
