The New York Times editorial board endorsed Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul to keep her office on Election Day. NYT attacked Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin as a radical Trump supporter.
New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin joined 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' to weigh in on new polling that shows him ahead of Gov. Kathy Hochul and how he will tackle crime if he is elected.
The New York Times editorial board endorsed Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to maintain her office on Election Day, condemningThe board's Saturday op-ed wrote that New York's high cost of living, rising crime and rampant inflation have made the gubernatorial race"unusually close." The paper argued that Zeldin, a U.S. congressman representing Long Island, is masquerading as a moderate and is, in fact, an election-denying loyalist of former President Donald Trump.
"He can easily be mistaken for the moderate that he likes to portray: just another average New Yorker worried about jobs and safety, family and gas prices. Someone who wants to shake up Albany and get things done," the Times wrote."New York has a long, proud tradition of moderate, thoughtful Republicans, from George Pataki to Nelson Rockefeller. Mr. Zeldin is not part of this tradition.
"Over and over again, he has demonstrated a loyalty to Trumpism over his oath to defend American democracy and the Constitution." the board continued.New York Governor Kathy Hochul speaks, joined by New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the newly appointed ATF Director Steve Dettelbah, as she delivers remarks about their joint effort to combat gun violence at the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas office on August 24, 2022 in New York City.
The Times referenced text messages publicized by the House Committee investigating January 6 from Zeldin to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to support its claim. Zeldin had offered ideas to Meadows about how to message election complaints the day before the race was called for Biden in November 2020."Not only his beliefs but also his actions in the wake of the 2020 election make Mr. Zeldin unfit for the office he is seeking," the board wrote.
