Hochul-Stefanik Thread: Okay couldn't resist jumping on one more time before slipping away to think out loud about the NY governor's race. Before diving in, a caveat: I predicted Stefanik wouldn't run. So take any analysis I chip in with a huge grain of salt. 🙃 If you're still interested... 1/

A test for Stefanik's bid for governor is whether NYers accept her dark vision of NY now. She frames this as "from the ashes," highlighting fear of Dem leaders Hochul and Mamdani, whom she falsely identifies as communist. If her Trumpian MAGA story connects with voters, this could be a barn burner.

Jumped back on Social Media to talk about NPR’S Population Shift project and our work on the NYC Mayoral election. Mostly hopping off again now until winter when I'll resurface to post from the Milan Olympics. Until then -

A Democrat also handily won a special election for a state Assembly seat in Stefanik's Upstate #ny21 District .... nyenr.elections.ny.gov
The results in New Jersey and Virginia are an interesting signal for what Rep Elise Stefanik would face in NY next year if she challenges Gov Kathy Hochul. In a blue state facing mobilized Democrats? This will be an uphill climb.

Thread: Look I know it's easier cognitively to just have good guys and villains, but a lot of you folks are just not dealing in facts. Andrew Cuomo was a centrist, sure, and he fought a lot with Democrats. But he also pushed some of the most progressive state policies of his era. A partial list. 1/

NPR does not exist to silo people in a cozy set of ideas. Andrew Cuomo won 43% of votes in the Dem primary. He has a long history. Our reporting includes charges of sexual misconduct & mishandling of COVID care - and describes his long list of progressive wins as governor www.npr.org/2025/11/03/n...
Andrew Cuomo fights for his political life and his version of the Democratic Party
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has a long list of accomplishments, many of them progressive. In the race for New York City mayor, that experience hasn't given him the boost he wanted.
