With Democrats like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, we're always smack-dab in the middle of projection season.
Just to keep it close to home for the governor, here's a reminder of what he pal, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani posted just a few years ago:

As we already know, lying is what Hochul does on a regular basis.
