Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) and her state have been making news for all the wrong reasons, as we get closer to the November elections. She seems desperate. The tide could be turning. Democrats are even endorsing Rep. Lee Zeldin, the governor's Republican opponent.
As The New York Post covered on Monday night, John Orlando, the president of the New Era Democrats highlighted how Hochul is "too extreme." As he said in a press conference earlier that day, "We have a Democratic machine that has gone far too left – too extreme for even those moderate Democrats." Orlando also warned that "Governor Kathy Hochul doesn’t see what’s in front of her. There has to be a change and public safety needs to be number one." The group is based in Brooklyn, one of the boroughs of the heavily Democratic New York City, and has endorsed Mayor Bill de Blasio and Andrew Yang in the past.
Zeldin also has endorsements from former local Democratic politicians, including the Rev. Rubén Díaz, Sr. in the Bronx. "Lee is my candidate. He’s against crime. Hochul’s for crime. She refused to make any major changes to the bail law," Díaz is quoted as saying.
"I’m supporting Lee Zeldin. He’s the only choice with the mess New York is in. Does anyone believe that Hochul will make change and stand up to the radical wing of the Democratic Party," former Democratic Assemblyman Dov Hikind also questioned Monday.
