The Reddening of New York
Timothy Birdnow
Will wonders never cease? New York State is swinging hard to the right and Kathy Hochul's knobby knees can be heard knocking clear up to Canada.
New Yorkers appear to have had enough.
Hochum Hochel is up for re-election in '26 and is facing the possible challenge from Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Unless the polling changes Hochel could find herself seeking new employment.
Of course a year is a long time. And the people of New York have short memories; as the situation improves under Trump they will accredit her with it and not MAGA, or at least that's how it usually works in heavily blue states.
But maybe not; times change. Like an alcoholic, the state must hit rock bottom before the people there decide to swear off the bottle.

Naturally I'm of two minds on this. I'd like to see Stefanik take over the statehouse and help the Empire State get cleaned up -- it's my original state, incidentally -- but I also would like to see Elise keep her House seat.

I think it would be a terrible idea for her to leave her House seat at this time. But she would be a great Governor should she win.
