Blue-state governors seem to be responding to President Trump's anti-crime campaign with Marxist tactics. Not the communist, Karl, that is, but the comedian Brothers. In "Duck Soup," Chico Marx famously deceives a wealthy widow by asking "Who are you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?" It's an apt metaphor for Governor Kathy Hochul of New York when she poses as a defender of law and order.

The point raised by Andrew Cuomo emphasizes that rent-controlled apartments should ideally support those who are truly in need of affordable housing, rather than benefiting individuals with substantial incomes.

Mamdani attracted support from a broad swath of New Yorkers by running a campaign relentlessly focused on working-class cost-of-living concerns.

New York is a state of stark contrasts, characterized by both immense wealth and high levels of wealth inequality, alongside diversity and segregation.

The comments from Senator Ted Cruz followed the posting of a photo of Governor Kathy Hochul at the funeral of Officer Didarul Islam, with Cruz questioning her headscarf.

Hochul warned that federal cuts to Medicaid would push New York's health system to the brink of collapse, especially if a MAGA Republican becomes governor.

I'm running again because I think the current Assembly member is not doing the job. Right now, with everything that's going in D.C. with all the chaos, I think people in the district deserve someone who is actually going to be there to help navigate what's going on, and also make their lives a little more affordable and a little better.

Adams criticized Cuomo's past campaign strategy, referencing his inability to actively engage voters, stating, 'New York is a competitive place. They want to see you.'

"Senate Republicans moved one step closer to ripping health care away from millions of Americans to pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires," Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.

Mamdani's volunteer army, inspired to work for their candidate, evokes the strengths of the historical Tammany Hall, a paradigm of grassroots mobilization in New York.

The horse they're going to back is Eric Adams," grocery store billionaire Jon Catsimatidis stated, indicating a strategic move by business leaders to unify support against Mamdani.

"We cannot have an individual who wants to dismiss the past, someone who wants to ignore the pleas of women, someone who has made money as a result of this scandal," James said.

The upcoming Democratic primary features a heated competition, especially between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani, highlighting the youth engagement in the electoral process.

Levine frequently highlights his connections to Jewish life and his support for Israel, presenting himself as a strong candidate for the Jewish community if elected.

The bill, which would give state parties the authority to boot members at will, was cooked up after Democrat Mondaire Jones embarrassingly lost the liberal Working Families Party line.

"It's no secret that the lieutenant governor rarely showed up for a full day of work, and there were plenty of times he didn't show up at all - even for the few initiatives he claimed were his big accomplishments."
