Governor Hochul criticized President Trump's recent effort to halt New York's congestion pricing program, holding a press conference at Grand Central Station to vocalize her opposition. She claims Trump's actions are an attack on New York's sovereignty, encouraging residents to recognize federal interference in state matters. By invoking the Founding Fathers' fight against oppressive rule, Hochul positions her stance as part of a larger struggle for autonomy, urging citizens to be mindful of the implications of federal decisions on their daily lives, especially regarding transportation and congestion issues.
"At 1:58 p.m. President Donald Trump tweeted, 'Long live the king.' I'm here to say New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years."
"If in some world they are successful [in cancelling the program], the next time you're stuck in traffic, your train is delayed, think about this."
