CNN PROJECTION: Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will win election to a full term, becoming the first woman to do so. She defeats Trump-backed Republican Lee Zeldin
Hochul celebrates with her Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado at her midterm election night party after winning re-election in New York, New York, on Tuesday November 8.
Hochul’s victory keeps New York Democrats on track to maintain their now nearly two-decade-old winning streak in statewide elections. A Buffalo native, Hochul took over the top job in August 2021 following the resignation of Andrew Cuomo, the three-term governor who faced impeachment amid a sexual harassment scandal. Despite being his lieutenant governor, Hochul and Cuomo were never closely aligned and she moved quickly upon taking office to clear it of his allies.
Hochul, who in the latter part of the campaign dialed up her political outreach in New York City, where Democrats typically need about 70% of the vote to assure statewide victory, hammered Zeldin throughout the race over his anti-abortion positions and vote in Congress against certifying President Joe Biden’s election.
