Blakeman Leverages ICE Shooting to Press Hochul in NY Governor Battle

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a likely GOP candidate for New York governor, used his Albany appearance to attack Gov. Hochul on crime, taxes and child care while highlighting the Minneapolis killing of Renee Good by a federal ICE agent to frame immigration policy as a point of disagreement. He aligned with Donald Trump on withholding funds from sanctuary-city policies and signaled he would push tax cuts, aiming to replicate Lee Zeldin’s 2022 approach on affordability and safety, even as crime trends in New York have generally cooled. Hochul defended NY’s approach and cooperation with federal authorities, underscoring policy differences in the looming race.

Bruce Blakeman Enters NY Gubernatorial Race, Pitting GOP Against Stefanik

New York Republicans are heading towards a contentious gubernatorial primary between Elise Stefanik and Bruce Blakeman, with President Trump’s ambiguous stance adding to the uncertainty. Trump has not explicitly endorsed a candidate, despite discussions with Blakeman and praise for both candidates, which complicates the GOP's strategy in a deeply Democratic state. The outcome of the primary and Trump’s potential endorsement could significantly influence the race against Democratic candidate Kathy Hochul.

Hochul's Deputy Antonio Delgado Launches Primary Challenge for New York Governor

Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado of New York is launching a bid to challenge incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul in the Democratic primary, marking a rare move for a sitting lieutenant governor. Delgado, who has been largely inactive in his role, is positioning himself as a reformist candidate and has been reaching out to Black voters and community leaders. Despite Hochul's strong fundraising and political infrastructure, Delgado's challenge reflects internal Democratic party tensions and his desire to ascend to the governorship.

Ritchie Torres Criticizes Hochul, Hints at Gubernatorial Ambitions

Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres is considering a run for New York governor and is sharply criticizing current Governor Kathy Hochul, comparing her vulnerabilities to those of President Joe Biden before he dropped his reelection bid. Torres plans to tour New York to raise his profile and assess the state's needs. He argues that Hochul's low approval ratings and erratic governance could lead to a Republican victory in 2026, potentially by GOP Rep. Mike Lawler. Other Democrats have also expressed concerns about the party's statewide prospects.
