Kathy Hochul wins election for governor of New York

 NY Daily News

Kathy Hochul became the first woman elected governor of New York on Tuesday after overcoming a tighter-than-expected race and defeating Republican challenger Lee Zeldin.

The Democratic incumbent, buoyed by high voter turnout in New York City, declared victory shortly after 11 p.m. and will now serve a full four-year term in office.

“Tonight you made your voices heard loud and clear and you made me the first woman to ever be elected the governor of the state of New York,” Hochul said to a chorus of cheers at Capitale, a Lower Manhattan event space with Greek-style architecture and a glass ceiling. “But I’m not here to make history, I’m here to make a difference.

“I will lead with strength and compassion not with fear and anger,” she added.

At the time, Hochul was up on Zeldin by 55% to 43%, with just more than half of all votes counted across the state, according to unofficial results from the state Board of Elections. Technical issues prevented results from being tabulated from Suffolk County, Zeldin’s home turf. NBC and ABC called the race before midnight.

Hochul’s win was far from certain even in deep blue New York as she faced off against Zeldin, a Donald Trump-endorsed Long Island congressman whose focus on crime boosted his bid to become the first Republican elected statewide in over two decades.

Well NYC has spoken. They like the direction the city is going. They love the crime in the subways and the possibility of being pushed in front of train. They like all the drug addicts and homeless people laying on the sidewalks. They want to be charged $23 dollars every time the enter the city. They like to spend money on replacing catalytic converters on their cars. They like the menacing by ATV driver on the streets. They love their New York and they didn't want CHANGE.

This election was won in NYC, in Astoria, Long Island City, and Manhattan. Look at a vote map almost the entire state is red. What a travesty...

NYC broke it.....they bought it.

What a disaster....

Counting the days to leave NY. The city is on the way to becoming Detroit/San Fran and Portland all in one.

Hochul can sit up in Buffalo with India Walton and figure out ways to destroy what's left of decency, civility and morality.

New York - You did this....you suck so fucking bad.

If you voted for Hochul you voted for rape, murder, assault, robbery, being shoved on subway tracks, etc.
If you voted for Zeldin you need to leave New York asap.

Of course, you must be grateful for the privilege of living in this wondrous city and show your supplication by slathering your scalp with human excrement, and nose with pigeon excrement, and take in the enchanting experience of all that crime, homelessness, and drug to elevate you to the sublime level of being blessed to be allowed to reside here.

Zeldin couldn't keep his mouth shut when it comes to what a woman can (and can not) do with her own body and health issues) committing politcal suicide on himself
Nor would he retract that opinion.
His answer should have been "the government has no business in a woman's body, period"
He was also almost always seen surrounded by Hasidim Jews in his entourage.
The Dumb bastard I voted for sunk everybody in New York !!
Why do Republicans have such problems keeping there religious beliefs to themselves or 2: Always bowing and bending over to appease the Pope. (who most the US population, and near all young people in the year 2022 hates)

Because of all this bullshit we now have two X100 dumb bastard Wokes at the top, New York is finished. ---I gotta move before the price of socialism and reform really hits !!

This is like the ending scenes in "Beneath The Planet Of The Apes" when the intellectual educated conservative freaks can no longer keep the animals out of City Hall Station and church doors

You are correct and this "congestion pricing" garbage is so stupid, it's beyond insane. They REALLY THINK that 23 dollars to drive through certain streets is automatically going to make people disappear? What do they REALLY think Is going to happen? If someone really wanted to go through Manhattan and not have to pay, they will just cause more traffic on the streets cutting through other neighborhoods of Manhattan just to avoid the fare. They can easily just cut through uptown or downtown to get into mid Manhattan. All they are doing is causing even MORE traffic which means MORE fuels will be let out because there will be more idling sitting through traffic with the engine running. So if they REALLY wanted to help climate change, they should actually be trying to build bridges more bridges to be honest to connect to the mainland. Especially one that goes from long island to Connecticut so that way trucks won't have to go through 2 boroughs just to get to long Island from New England. All of the ideas that the dems have on "how to fight climate change " is just so stupid, it's ridiculous. They also think electric cars are going to save us when California can't even keep the lights on. And what do they think we use to generate electricity? Coal. Soon it'll look like China with all the smog from burning so much coal. And then they really think mining the earth more for natural resources to build bigger batteries and more batteries is actually good for the earth? Its really not and we don't even have enough lithium to build all these batteries as it is. They are really just killing everything instead of helping.

Yes, it's true, NY has spoken. This is the direction you've wanted and will continue on. You can stay in NY and love it, or you can hate NY and leave it. But nothings going to change the direction NY has been headed in for decades. Enjoy!

Well as you can see the crime wave continues. People get shot at a bust stop. Randall's Island borders are moving to mid town Manhattan.....I am sure Eric Adams and his friends got a lot of money under the table for putting up that tent and supplying it with the finest computers and phones. Kathy is sitting up in Albany on her throne loving it. The city voters who voted for her are probably all illegal and were afraid Zeldin was going to deport them and tale their free money away. Now they can all live with the decision they made. Don't complain about the high crime you voted for it

True that. Many folks who bought during the 1977 riots made a killing selling in 1984. Developers deliberately fuel the extreme housing cycles to their benefit, they roll up properties cheap, build with cheap recession labor and sell sky high (more ways that one) once recovered. Meanwhile they tell poor folks "Real estate never loses value" and the poor Al Bundies become willing sucker counterparties. But buy low, sell high only benefits the rich, because poor folk don't have money to buy when low, which is why it is low.
