Kathy Hochul apologizes after gaffe ("...black kids don't know the word "computer" ")

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I don’t get her. She had a solid voting record as a Rep but suddenly decided to go all coastal elitist when she became governor. The DNC should try to talk her out of running for re-election, especially if Biden wins. There’s no other logical reason to explain why Zeldin did nearly as well as he did.

She was too conservative as representative, but also was elected in a red district. I actually thought she had great potential at the start of her term and even as lt. governor, but otherwise I agree. However, I don't see her retiring before 2030. The weak performance in 2022 was a general issue for Democrats in New York that year. James barely did better and even Schumer had a weak result compared to all his previous runs.

She was elected in a swing district that was moving Blue. 

Hochul is not from New York City.  She really didn't know the problems of NYC until she became Governor; her job before that was to keep Upstate competitive for Democrats.  Stupid pandering crap like this is what she comes up with because her knowledge of the largest Democratic constitutncies in NY State is all secondhand.

Fair points.
