Show Notes
Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman faces a tough challenge in his bid to unseat Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul. Despite trailing in polls and having significantly less campaign funds, Blakemans team remains optimistic. However, his close ties to President Trump have given Democrats ammunition, and the state Democratic Party has launched a seven-figure ad campaign against him. GOP insiders and donors express concern over the fundraising gap, while Blakemans team points to an internal survey showing a narrower gap. Democrats are now pushing to deny Blakeman public matching funds, and Hochul has strengthened her party infrastructure and shifted right on taxes and utility costs. As the midterm election year heats up, Blakeman targets Hochul on soaring bills and high taxes, hoping to boost turnout among conservatives and independents in this blue state.
