"From Frenemy to Hope: The Impact of Oct. 7 on CD 3 Special Election"

Governor Kathy Hochul, who previously faced a primary challenge from Tom Suozzi, is now actively supporting his bid to retake a House seat, emphasizing the importance of immigration issues in the race. The special election is seen as a tight contest, with a recent poll showing Suozzi leading by a narrow margin. Hochul's support for Suozzi has sparked criticism from Republicans, who are attempting to link him to Democratic handling of the migrant crisis. Despite their past differences, Hochul's backing of Suozzi reflects the Democrats' efforts to regain power in the closely divided House.
