GOP big guns stump for RepLeeZeldin in New York governor's race
The Long Island congressman is mounting a fierce challenge, with surveys showing him only trailing Gov. Kathy Hochul by 6 points, on average, in a state that has long been seen as a Democratic stronghold.
“We love serving with Lee Zeldin in Congress, but right now, New York needs Lee Zeldin more than we do,” he told an enthusiastic crowd. “The reason that Lee Zeldin has so much excitement behind his campaign and so much momentum is because he was the right candidate with the right message, and he has been talking constantly about the crime problem in New York and what he would do to confront it, even when you didn't have as wide-scale of a recognition of the problem. And Hochul is still in denial,” he told the Washington Examiner in an interview.
“I've been around a lot of different parts of the state of New York these last few weeks, including in the city, and there's tremendous enthusiasm behind Lee Zeldin because he's fighting for the people that have been left behind. And it's a great message.
