It looks like claws are out in New York.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Sunday blasted “pathetic” GOP potential election foe Elise Stefanik as someone who would give President Trump nearly unfettered power over the state if governor.
Hochul, a Democrat, warned that the president, who grew up in New York, has his sights set on helping a Republican become governor.
“If a Republican gets elected as governor against me, think about the power that Donald Trump will have over everything in the state, including the city,” Hochul warned on ABC 7’s “Up Close with Bill Ritter.
“That’s what should give people great pause,” she said.
The governor seemed amused that Trump appeared to intervene in New York GOP politics to encourage Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) not to run against her.

Of course she is.
Kathy is so scared she’s going to lose and the grifting will then be over. https://t.co/6iVKuhGLoI

Democrats always fail up, unfortunately, so she'll get some big salaried job at some NGO.
Seriously lady.

You’re pathetic.
Most of New York knows that you have continued to DESTROY New York after Gov Cuomo.
You sound scared. https://t.co/CKMC4xNH9V
New York might actually survive if they elected a Democratic Governor.
Kathy Hochul is going to lose. There is no if and or buts about it. The destruction under her in New York State palpable.

Hopefully, the voters of New York will wake up and change course.
Hochul has all the class of a farm animal. She is at the losing end of all policy debates so she resorts to name calling.

It's certainly fitting she is a member of a party with a donkey as its mascot.

She think she can shout 'Trump' whenever she is criticized and that will solve everything. The Leftist press is more than willing to oblige.
Look Mamdani is going to be NYC's new mayor. He can do a lot of damage in a year. He will likely disenfranchise his base elevating Stefanik. Stefanik is a real threat to Hochul this is no joke.

It's a shame New Yorkers are going to vote for their own demise by possibly electing the baby Commie, but at least Stefanik can pick up the pieces of the disaster he'll leave in his wake.
New York could be on top of the world again if people would stop voting imbeciles like @KathyHochul into office..

If people would only stop voting for their own self destruction.
