New York ripe for Trump’s taking, GOP chair says: Biden is in a 1980-Carter moment

New Yorkers will judge President Biden and former President Trump similarly to how they judged Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan in 1980, NYS GOP Chairman Ed Cox said.
In that regard, Cox said, while the state has high-profile pockets of progressive strongholds, New Yorkers overall are "pragmatic" and are truly having déjà vu from the run-up to the last time the state shocked the country on Election Day. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"We have a lot of independents here in New York. And they're the ones who are going to take a look, and they're going to say, ‘Are we going to risk [it]?’" Cox said, underlining his belief Trump can win its 28 electoral votes. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
