Democrats open new super PAC to bolster Kathy Hochul as her lead shrinks
Fox News
Democrats opened a new super PAC to support Gov. Kathy Hochul in New York on Friday. The move shows just how concerned the party is that Lee Zeldin could pull off an upset.
"Republican Super PACs have spent a record amount of nearly $12 million to insert an election denying, abortion banning, MAGA Republican who would make New York less safe by rolling back laws to take illegal guns off the street," David Turner, a spokesman for the Democratic Governors Association, told the Associated Press. "The DGA is taking nothing for granted, and won’t sit idly by."
Hochul's campaign has had the funding advantage over Zeldin throughout the race, and the political makeup of New York — about two Democrats for every one Republican — meant few truly viewed Zeldin as a threat.
