New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is projected to defeat Republican nominee Lee Zeldin and win her first full term in the governor’s mansion.
NBC News and ABC News called the race for Hochul shortly after 11 p.m. E.T.
Headed into Election Day, Hochul was leading Zeldin, a Trump-endorsed congressional lawmaker, by just a few points. The race was largely seen as a toss-up in the final stretch.
Hochul was the lieutenant governor under former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who stepped down last fall amid allegations of sexual harassment and accusations he covered up nursing home deaths during the pandemic.
When she filled Cuomo’s spot, Hochul became the state’s first female governor.
Her reelection campaign got off to a rocky start after the April resignation of Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin (D), who was charged by the FBI in a corruption scandal.
Hochul spent her first year as governor tackling a number of issues, including expanding access to reproductive health care over the spring as the Supreme Court was poised to overturn the constitutional right to abortion.
She also signed into law over the summer major gun control legislation, bolstering restrictions on the permitting process for concealed carry firearms.
The liberal media is already providing cover for the democrat cheat machines. An example:
Problems with voting machines in Arizona’s Maricopa County trigger unfounded fraud claims
Just proves that crazy no-nothings can fool enough leftist libs to get elected to a major political position. Just look at hair-fondling Joe and poledancer Kamala.
“As of this writing, with 55% of the votes counted, Hochul leads 59% to 40%. A total wipeout.”
NY’ers will get what they asked for. And it will be painful to watch.
Has Zeldin conceded?
Did the nation vote for BiteMe?
Deep State has to steal elections for a reason.
Use yer noggin and stop allowing Deep State to pit you against your fellow citizens.
“Use yer noggin and stop allowing Deep State to pit you against your fellow citizens.”
Deep State can do whatever they want until it changes. I don’t buy into their rhetoric.
RE: Has Zeldin conceded?
Not as I write this. But he will have to eventually. It’s really over and the voters of NY deserve everything they voted for.
Gooder and harder. NY deserves what they are going to get. Those who can should move to Florida or Texas ASAP.
He did concede.
