Whether Kathy Hochul can run up the score in New York City could determine whether she wins statewide.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.In this fractured era of political discourse, even the most ardent Democrat and Republican in New York can agree on this: Gov. Kathy Hochul is poised to win the New York City vote on Tuesday.Both Hochul, a Democrat, and Republican challenger Rep.
The five boroughs are home to 5.2 million — or 40% — of the state’s 13.1 million total registered voters, according to. Of those, 3.5 million are Democrats, 1 million are independents and just 526,000 are Republicans. Zeldin supporters acknowledge he’ll likely have to do at least a little better than Pataki did in the city in 1994 to have a real chance at winning on Tuesday. To do so, Zeldin would have to outperform in areas outside of traditional Republican strongholds like much of Staten Island and the more conservative parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
But Hochul says recent history shouldn’t be the guide, anyway. Unlike her immediate predecessors, she doesn’t hail from downstate; she’s from Buffalo. And that, she says, changes the whole equation. “The base has not been sufficiently energized and activated. And what we're spending a lot of time doing is really talking to what should be base voters — young people, people of color, New York City residents in particular — and really talking about what's at stake.
Gubernatorial Republican candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin addresses media last week on a corner of Broadway and West 50th Street after arrest of person involved in shooting near his house.Astorino, the former Westchester County executive who challenged Cuomo in 2014 and lost a primary to Zeldin this year, said he believes Westchester, which is heavily Democratic, could be a bellwether.
