It’s an open question whether the biggest looming political headache for Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) is a strong Republican challenger or a Democratic primary rival. Either way, the governor is in a New York state of (political) bind.
Long before her staunch support of NYC congestion pricing, Gov. Hochul spent a decade opposing tolls in upstate New York, and was even hailed as a “stop-the-tolls pioneer.”
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched his bid for New York City mayor with a video posted on his X account. This comes after much speculation that the governor would launch a comeback after leaving office in 2021.
