The updated @KathyHochul results tell a remarkable story: - More than tripled her 2022 margin - Flipped counties that were in the GOP column 4 years ago: • Nassau & Suffolk • Rockland & Orange & Dutchess • Saratoga & Rensselaer • Broome • Ontario • Warren A HUGE mandate.

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

Kathy Hochul is an evil woman. The Democratic Party should forfeit her seat because even if she wins, she will be of great consequence to them. Downward spiral for her. She will not escape God’s wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance.

Kathy Hochul is the first governor from upstate NY in about a century. She might also be New York City's biggest transit supporter in decades. nytimes.com/2026/10/28/nyreg…

Gov. Kathy Hochul isn’t from New York City, but she could be its biggest mass transit defender in a generation. She has embraced that distinction in her re-election campaign.

NEW: Bruce Blakeman’s hometown paper, Newsday, endorses Governor @KathyHochul >>> “Hochul is the better choice for Long Island and to lead the state. She has made admirable progress on a series of difficult issues and deserves another term to continue that work.”

New: Governor @KathyHochul responds to criticism from her opponent @NassauExec who said she’s helping him by campaigning with Mayor @ZohranKMamdani “It's kind of funny because Mayor Mamdani is more popular in the rest of New York State than Bruce Blakeman is” Hochul says

Unlike Bruce Blakeman, we don’t use AI to make our videos. So everything in this one is real. Election Day is November 3rd. Early Voting starts October 24th and runs until November 1st.

Long Island knows Bruce Blakeman's record. We also know who delivered free school meals, a bigger Child Tax Credit, and lower taxes for working families. Governor @KathyHochul has our back. Let's finish strong on Nov 3.

#NYGov debate — Hochul: “Don't overlook the fact that it's the war with Iran that is driving up gasoline costs and energy costs almost double what they were in the past… That is a real cost of energy that people are dealing with, and it was so unnecessary. “And my opponent supports exactly what Donald Trump did with that war.”

Bruce Blakeman claims victory for making housing in Nassau County impossible to afford. Unclear whether he actually believes this bullshit or thinks New Yorkers are that easily confused.

crazy moment in the NY governor debate: Hochul says she wishes she pushed even harder on YIMBY policies, meanwhile, Blakeman literally *brags* about how his NIMBY policies have made housing so expensive

They just charged me $6 for a standard Aquafina bottle of water at the Trump rally in Syracuse, by the way. Some of the attendees are holding signs that say “LOWER PRICES” and I’m ready to pick one up myself.

I want answers. And I want accountability. I spoke with Cornell’s president today, and the university has agreed to bring in outside counsel for an independent investigation. I’ve directed my team to look at what more we can do to strengthen protections for survivors. This culture has to stop. And in New York, we’re going to do everything we can to stop it.
