Kathy Hochul Quietly Prepares to Step Into the Limelight

August 9, 2021 · 3:25 am ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “When Gov. Andrew Cuomo was holding his marathon sessions of news briefings during the peak of the coronavirus crisis, he was often flanked by his closest aides.”

“Notably absent was Kathy Hochul, his lieutenant governor.”

“When Mr. Cuomo published a book that portrayed him as a heroic leader during the pandemic, he highlighted the roles played by a slew of his top aides. He made no mention of Ms. Hochul.”

“But for Ms. Hochul, being marginalized by her boss might now be a blessing.”

Wall Street Journal: Hochul prepares for a Cuomo resignation.
