Rep. Elise Stefanik is considering a run for New York governor

8. Yep!

We would get rid of her in the North County if she runs.

But Hochul is vulnerable. Her own Lieutenant Governor (Delgado) won’t endorse her and likely will primary her. Former Governor Cuomo is going to endorse Congressman Ritchie Torres (who endorsed Cuomo for NYC Mayor), who will primary Hochul. Even if Hochul gets the nomination, she barely won her last general election and could be beaten by the right Republican candidate. I think Stefanik is too Trumpy to win a Governor’s race in NY, but Hochul isn’t particularly strong and has alienated much of NYC with her handling of the migrant crisis.
