Hochul Moves to Avoid Another Down-Ballot Disaster

“Two years ago, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) won her own race by a surprisingly narrow margin, and New York Republicans flipped three House seats. Now the New York governor is aiming to avoid another down-ballot disaster for Democrats in her home state,” Politico reports.

“Hochul, who struggled with early tactical fights in the state capital, is putting money and her own political clout on the line as she seeks to become a national surrogate for President Joe Biden and Democratic House candidates and ensure New York is a bulwark against another red wave.”
