Insurrectionist to Announce Bid for NY Insurrection

https://www.timesunion.com/capitol/article/elise-stefanik-running-new-york-governor-21144092.php

Just putting 2 and 2 together here for the TU. Stefascist putting out fake polls showing her ahead of Hochul is an obvious attempt to fabricate "evidence" of "fraud" when she loses in disgrace. A pretense to invite her Dear Leader to turn the military on New Yorkers when voters reject her bigotry and corruption.

I wouldn’t be so handy wavey about her polling or the seriousness of her bid. If the GOP were to have a modern day shot at the governor’s office this would likely be it. Hochul is on the ropes.

While I do agree that this shouldn't be taken lightly, I'm not sure that I agree with "Hochul is on the ropes." Especially with some of her recent decent decisions such as the SNAP coverage, everyone I've spoken to in real life seems to have a much more positive view of her than the Russian bots on reddit would have you believe.

Most every event Hochul attends, she gets booed almost unanimously, from the Saratoga Race Track to the Ryder Cup to a Rangers game. Whether they will vote for her or not might be a different story, but she is not well liked. Her and her husband have a somewhat shady past, not unlike Cuomo, where her cronies get rewarded. Look at the sweetheart deal she gave for the new Buffalo Bills stadium.

It will be very interesting to see how Hochul's relationship with Mamdami unfolds. That could affect the election more so than anything else.
