Stefanik Expected to Announce N.Y. Gubernatorial Bid After NYC Election

**Summary:**Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a prominent Trump supporter, is set to announce her campaign for New York governor in 2026, challenging Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul. Stefanik has assembled a team of Trump's top advisers and aims to activate the millions of New Yorkers who voted for Trump in the last election. Hochul is seen as vulnerable, and the race is expected to be personal and national, focusing on issues like immigration, sanctuary policies, and Hochul's progressive endorsements. Stefanik's campaign sees an opportunity to connect with New York's Jewish population and challenge far-left indoctrination in colleges. With New York shifting rightward, many Republicans see a chance to win, setting the stage for a tough battle. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
