Hochul won by ~400k votes in a state that is 50% registered Democrat. Zeldin did about as well as anyone could have expected. DeSantis didn't work some amazing magic in Florida, he won by about the same margins as the Republican governors in Ohio and South Dakoda, and benefitted from mass migration into the state of Republican voters. He's just getting more press because the GOP leadership wants him to run over Trump.
Ironically, something close to 800k people fled NY for Florida in the last couple of years, so you could say that the people who would have voted for Zeldin already left.
Anyway, strap in. I wonder what's on Cruella's agenda first?
- Forcing your kids to take the vax
- Changing the voting laws to ensure Republicans never win again
- Moving local voting to the same years as state/federal voting to ensure Republicans never win again (she already tried this and I'm sure will again)
- Changing zoning laws to stuff more multi-family units into the suburbs (she already tried this and I'm sure will again)
- Doing everything possible to continue fighting against the SCOTUS concealed carry decision, tying up law abiding people in court for as long as possible
- More freebies for druggies, homeless, and illegals
- More trans "protection" like they just passed in California, making it so that not allowing your child to surgically mutilate their genitals earns you a visit from CPS
- More "climate change" garbage resulting in rolling blackouts like they presently have in Los Angeles
Oh but you can have an abortion I guess (like that was ever at risk in NY).
Yep dead on. Very small consolation the dems lost their state senate supermajority.
Tons and tons of votes brought in from the teachers union, the construction unions etc etc. They only vote blue no matter who the candidate is. Believe me I hear it and see it all around me.
Like I said, your point is dumb. There's no unions on LI?
The bottom line is that the odds were so slanted by virtue of Zelda needing to cover a 30% margin to just break even in NYC. Despite the stupidity factor playing into this NY was not alone. How anyone could vote for Fetterman over DR. OZ is beyond me (and I think that OZ was at best a so-so candidate) is beyond me.
Good luck NY and PA you are gonna need it.
PA also literally voted for a dead man for state house.

I see it autocorrected to Zelda. My bad. Zeldin. Yes, and as I said before, I don’t get why someone who may just need some more time to heal, (or not) would want to subject themselves to this additional stress while healing.
On a completely different point and a very judgmental and shallow one admittedly, I also feel that a person who is looking to fulfill a certain position needs to dress accordingly. From what I saw, it appears that a hoodie and baggy pants are the uniform of the new senator - fine for certain events, but personally not what I look for as a sign of rest for his constituents or the office. I could have missed it but I only saw him out of “uniform “ one time.

It's my hope that Hochul received a wake up call and realizes that she's gotta put serious effort into reducing crime and fixing the economy. To do otherwise would be foolish. These are issues that all NYers will support.

The fools that voted for her only care about abortion, abortion, abortion. Public Safety, the well being of their family members, the high cost of living, inflation, employment and education don't mean that much to them.

I think it’s simpler than that. Think of those in NYC who inexplicably (and twice!) voted for DeBlasio. Libs (not all, but most) robotically vote Dem. As NYC went downhill.

Haha that is Southwestern PA style.
Fetterman was a former mayor of Braddock PA.
I once attended a wedding not far from there in the Mon Valley. Guests wore flannel shirts and CAT hats. Great wedding .
My guess is he wanted to connect with his constituents, and it worked for him.
