New York is only blue in the environs of New York City. The rest of the state is deep red. Cuomo (Queens native) chose Hochul as his running mate to balance the ticket.

No surprise that she cozied up to the NRA. Upstate New York is chock full of gun owners. Lots of hunters.

To be elected to her own term as governor, she will have to run to the right of center.

Stefanik will have to run closer to the center if she has any hope of earning any votes in the NYC metro area.

It will be an interesting race.
