NEW YORK — President Joe Biden has a new problem: a competitive race in deep blue New York.
Elected officials, union leaders and political consultants are panicking over polls showing a steady erosion of Biden’s support in a state he won by 23 points four years ago. They’re so worried they’ve been trying to convince the Biden team to pour resources into New York to shore up his campaign and boost Democrats running in a half-dozen swing districts that could determine control of the House.
Biden aides have not focused on New York, committing no significant resources to a state where they expect the president to easily win all 28 electoral college votes in November.
But the warning signs are impossible to ignore and have been building over the past year. Two private polls conducted in a swing New York House district and reviewed by POLITICO — one in September and another in March — found former President Donald Trump leading Biden there by 1 point, a virtual tie. And public polls over the last four months found Biden’s lead had winnowed to just 8 points across New York — an unusually narrow gap in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.
“We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been,” Democratic Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine said. “I truly believe we’re a battleground state now.”
Biden, whose campaign is in free fall after a shambling debate performance last month, is yet to pay much attention to the state beyond high-dollar fundraisers. He was most recently in New York on June 29 to raise money in the Hamptons and attend a dedication ceremony for the Stonewall Inn Visitor Center in Manhattan a day earlier.

biden is the green energy president
intermittent
and very expensive
I’m tired of hearing about his health. Biden and any democrats deserve to lose, period.
That people in NY are mostly reacting to his health issue, shows how devoid they are of information and reasoning.
Just lose already!
My latest attempt to connect these mysterious dots is that they intend to let him win and then nuke everything on his watch.
you read it here first, fwiw.
THis.
It already happened.
NYC has RCV for a reason.
biden is in bigger trouble than I thought if this is even a remote possibility.
We were listening to Fox News in the car, which I know violated my refusal to watch Fox.
Anyway, the CONSERVATIVE commentators were asking wouldn’t Biden consider stepping aside FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY!!
These were not the Rinos.
What are they smoking? That’s what I mean about the focus on Biden’s health being dangerous.
Democrats just need to lose, for the good of the country.
Right now, all people hear about are Biden’s health, and Project 2025.
“all noise to cover voter fraud.”
That was my first thought, too. Then I began to wonder if there IS an effective Dem fraud machine in NYS. What if they figured that with a 28 point victory in 2020, there was no need to build a fraud machine in NYS? Now they are behind the 8-Ball and are playing catch-up on NYS campaigning AND building a NYS fraud machine.
It would be SO delicious if R wins NYS because D was over-confident and didn’t get a fraud machine built in time.
Control the cities and you will control the state electoral votes.
“I think Gillibrand is up for re-election. Maybe put Zeldin up.”
She is up this year.
But the filing deadline passed 3 months ago.
She gets pretty much a free ride to re-election unless the moon turns blue, hell freezes over, etc.
You can bet that Biden will “crush” him in the African Colonies. Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. He has the Latino colony of Colorado also and the BLM colony of Pennsylvania.
It will take all of upstate NY, parts of Long Island and “stay at homes” amoung NY “blacks” and collge kids.
“the CONSERVATIVE commentators were asking wouldn’t Biden consider stepping aside FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY!!”
These are the Maginot Line conservatives—guaranteed losers.
There will be a nationwide hiring campaign of USPS deep state election agents come August.
OMG 😊Wouldn’t that be awesome! That would be the cherry on top but I don’t trust polls we’ve been down this road before.. besides it always boils down to who counts the votes and who cheats the most comes the victor. Hopefully Lara Trump has a couple of tricks up her sleeve. Because No matter how hard we work to register voters and drive them to the voting centers the evil corrupt rats always win by cheating. Plus they’ve got corrupt judges who will always have their backs on Election Day and afterwards! And don’t forget the corrupt voting machines as well. Don’t think for one minute those Chinese men who are trained are here for a holiday… they are here with an agenda and a purpose and that is at all cost bring Trump down. And the sad thing about it is that our DOJ, CIA, and FBI know this and are willing to turn a blind eye because they know their jobs are on the line. These trained brainwashed communist Chinese men who entered unopposed are highly intelligent spies with technology expertise …they are not here to kick back or seek a better life or opportunity they are here for only one due purpose to destroy our nation within. I wonder how many voting machines will be going down on election day all across the nation. Don’t doubt it for one minute. They’ll shut them down and then enter the fake cheating numbers and reboot …That’s the way it works.
they’ve been trying to convince the Biden team to pour resources into New York

The problem for them is, that it probably does not matter who wins NY!
Pouring resources to NY will make them not available in other states. They are doomed!
Yeah—if NY is in play they are doomed anyway.
It makes zero sense for the Biden campaign to spend even one dime in NY.
Lee is good for New York. Best shot is probably for Governor.
Have to look a little more into his background.
NY has full on vote fraud built into their system now. From the top down.
