In case you somehow missed it amidst all of the other breaking news this month, in New York State, Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin has pulled into what some polling groups are describing as a “toss-up” race to replace unelected Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul. Before anyone begins holding their breath this early, Zeldin still has a bit of a hill left to climb, particularly among likely voters, and victory is far from assured. But he’s currently holding a position that should have been impossible – at least on paper – in a state where Democrats hold a two-to-one registration advantage. Some people have definitely been paying attention, however, and they clearly don’t care for what they’re seeing. This group includes the powers that be at the New York Times. They are clearly aghast at the idea that some crude, conservative Republican might crash their liberal garden party and Nicholas Fandos of the Gray Lady thinks he’s struck on a solution. Rather than trying to defend the results of Hochul’s policies (which would be an impossible task) or attack Zeldin over his proposals, he’s dug up some older news items showing that Zeldin was a fan of the Bad Orange Man. The title of the piece says it all. “Zeldin Built His Profile Defending Trump. Will New Yorkers Mind?
