Congressional hopeful Cait Conley was buddy-buddy with Gov. Kathy Hochul at a campaign phone bank — just days after she appeared to agree the governor “has got to go” in a stunning viral video.

Conley even outright dismissed her eyebrow-raising moment Thursday, accusing her Republican opponent Rep. Mike Lawler of twisting her words to boost his name ahead of the Nov. 3 elections.

“Let’s be clear, Mike Lawler does what he always does, and that is to spin things,” Conley told The Post. “The governor and I are out here today making our case to voters.”

The Democrats then spent the afternoon together calling voters at the New York Democratic Party’s Coordinated Office in the Westchester County city of Peekskill, where they hugged and appeared to be old pals.

But Conley — candidate for New York’s 17th District — was caught on camera declaring, “I’m in absolute agreement with my opponent” after Lawler said “we need a new governor. Kathy Hochul has to go” at an Oct. 13 upstate forum.

“Absolute agreement,” she repeated, smiling as the crowd began to cheer for Hochul’s opponent Bruce Blakeman.

“We’re not helping you in a moment when you desperately need it,” Conley added, before continuing on a point about support for small business owners. She didn’t share a word of defense for Hochul.

Conley later called Hochul to apologize in a phone call — with the governor accepting the exchange as a mistake during a “pressure cooker” debate environment, according to Politico.

But on Thursday Conley played coy over the incident — appearing to act confused when asked by a reporter “She doesn’t have to go? You support her?”

“I’m standing here outside of our joint office. Yes. What are you?” she said, practically rolling her eyes before walking off.

The entire kerfuffle seemed forgotten inside, where the chums spent about 10 minutes working the phones with voters before buttering each other up with compliments.

“The governor is holding the line, fighting back against the terrible policies of the Trump administration and they this congress is forcing down the throats of Americans,” Conley said.

She then introduced Hochul as “the leader leading the charge in New York, who has brought us together, who has helped us up and down the line, fights and wins,” with the governor in turn lathering on the praise.

Conley was both “imperative” to “the future of America,” a “patriotic spirit,” and the “badass we need,” Hochul said, before turning her sights once again on President Trump.

“We will not bow down to a king, not now and ever,” the governor said. “And one of the subjects of that king is Mike Lawler.”

Hochul previously deflected when pressed on Conley’s “got to go” agreement, saying “I don’t lose a lot of sleep over other people’s debates.”

Conley later tried to clarify her comments about Hochul, with a campaign spokesperson previously telling The Post she was only talking about business owners.

“As the full recording makes clear, Cait Conley was agreeing that New York’s small business owners need more support,” they said. “That shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but a party-first politician like Mike Lawler could never comprehend that.”

Conley and Lawler remain neck-and-neck just days ahead of the race — with Conley leading about 48% to 46%, according to the latest Emerson College poll.

The 17th congressional district is one of the few remaining battlegrounds in the Empire State and could help determine which party controls Congress in 2027.

Congress members serve two-year terms at an annual salary of $174,000.

Election Day is Nov. 3, with early voting already underway and going until Saturday.
