The increasingly tight race between Gov. Kathy Hochul and challenger Lee Zeldin has most New York
voters focused on the top of the ticket — but they could also play a key role in deciding the balance of
power in the House of Representatives.

Nine of the races in New York’s 26 congressional districts are described as competitive by the nonpartisan
Cook Political Report, with three ranked as toss-ups.

While she stumped alongside the likes of Hillary Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris, Hochul
also got high-profile last-minute endorsements from Mark Ruffalo, Amy Schumer, Cher, and Leonardo
DiCaprio. She also attended a glitzy campaign event with Bravo’s Andy Cohen on Saturday evening.

In an op-ed published in The Post yesterday, Libby Emmons dissed Hochul’s inability to “run on her
own record” while trotting “out celebrities to tout lies about her opponent.”

Lee Zeldin asks for voters' help to 'save' New York City express concern over 'disturbing'
videos
By Olivia Land

New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin launched a final appeal to voters Tuesday morning,
asking for their help to "save the Big Apple" from rising crime.

“[Voters] want boldness and courage from their elected officials to actually make the streets and
subways safe again,” he said on "Fox & Friends ."

“We have to work together to be able to save the Big Apple, to save the state.”

Zeldin’s remarks came after Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul claimed yesterday that her GOP rival
was “hyperventilating” over crime and trying to “scare people” into voting red.

Zeldin is expected to cast his own vote at 9 a.m. in Suffolk County.

Biden urges Americans to get out and vote on Election Day

By Olivia Land

President Biden kicked off Election Day early Tuesday with a message urging Americans to hit the
polls.

“It’s Election Day, America,” he wrote on Twitter. “Make your voice heard today. Vote.”

Today also marks a crucial turning point for Biden’s administration, as Democrats are predicted to lose
control of the House of Representatives to a ferocious roster of GOP candidates. The fate of the
Senate remains undetermined.

Hochul to rub elbows with AOC on Election Day – despite professing to be

‘moderate’ Dem
By Olivia Land

Incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to team up for a campaign rally with woke Congresswoman
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday morning, despite her past vows to be a more moderate voice of
the Democratic Party.

The event is set to be one of the highlights of Hochul’s packed day, as she schmoozes with New York
City officials to make a final pitch to voters in her race against Republican challenger Lee Zeldin.

The rally, which is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. at the Woodside subway station in Queens, will also
feature state Sen. Michael Gianaris, Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and Council
Member Julie Won.

Ocasio-Cortez is a surprising choice of ally for Hochul, who previously claimed to be a traditional
“Biden Democrat.”

Rather than focusing on touting her own agenda, Hochul also spent most of the last few months
smearing Zeldin as a far-right nightmare.

In the hours before polls opened, Hochul was still harping about Zeldin's “extreme MAGA agenda”
instead of addressing major issues like crime or inflation.

"Donald Trump may be announcing his campaign for president as soon as next week. If and when he
does, let’s make sure New York doesn’t have an election-denying, Trump ally as governor," she
tweeted late Monday.

In late October, The Post reported on Democrats’ concerns about Hochul's fumbling campaign, which
saw her and Zeldin neck-and-neck in a historically solid-blue state. “Her campaign seems like a hot
mess on the best of days. All they know how to do is use people like ATMs,” one insider said at the
time.

Kathy Hochul brushes off crime concerns, chides ‘hyperventilating’ Lee Zeldin
By Desheania Andrews and Jesse O’Neill

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul brushed off rising crime and claimed challenger Lee Zeldin was “hyperventilating” over
the key issue Monday.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul brushed off rising crime and claimed challenger Lee Zeldin was
“hyperventilating” over the key issue Monday — just hours after two subway riders were stabbed ,

including a good Samaritan who intervened when he saw a woman getting harassed.

During a campaign stop on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Hochul tried to downplay Zeldin’s criticism
of her and former President Bill Clinton for “laughing and joking about subway crimes” at an event
Saturday.

“Isay: Check the source,” Hochul told reporters outside the West 72nd Street subway station at Verdi
Square.

“He has been hyperventilating, trying to scare people for months and New Yorkers are onto it. All the
legitimate media organizations have called him out for what he is doing, fearmongering.”

The Democratic incumbent added: “And I’m not even talking about the statistics, you can check it out
yourself.”

But Hochul’s comments followed a pair of horrific underground attacks in the Bronx on Sunday.

‘Take back our subways’: Lee Zeldin calls for Democrats to unite with him vs. crime
By Reuven Fenton and Bruce Golding

Zeldin said the issue "isn't about Republican vs. Democrat."

James Keivom

Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin reached out to New York’s Democratic voters Monday
during a pre-Election Day rally at which he highlighted his tough-on-crime message .

Speaking outside a Bronx subway station where a rider was stabbed in the neck Sunday morning,
Zeldin said, “New Yorkers of all walks of life are uniting as New Yorkers to take back our streets, to
take back our subways.”

“People have said: Enough,” he said.

“This isn’t about Republican vs. Democrat. This is about all of us uniting.”

Zeldin — whose surging campaign has forced President Biden, former President Bill Clinton and other
Democratic bigwigs to stump for Gov. Kathy Hochul — also said voters in the deep-blue Empire State
“are not monolithic.”

“You can’t just paint somebody who is a registered Democrat and say because they are a registered
Democrat, that means that they are just going to vote one particular way — that they don’t think for
themselves, they don’t have their own ideas, their own vision,” he said.

“And what they really want is to see action.”

Pro-Eric Adams group donates $10K to Republican Lee Zeldin for governor on eve
of Election Day
By Carl Campanile

A group closely aligned with Mayor Eric Adams has donated $10,000 to Republican Lee Zeldin's campaign for
governor instead of incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul, The Post has learned.
Polaris; William Farrington

EXCLUSIVE: A group closely aligned with Mayor Eric Adams has donated $10,000 to Republican Lee
Zeldin’s campaign for governor instead of incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul , The Post has learned.

The support for Zeldin comes from the political action committee Striving for a Better New York , which
is headed by Adams pal the Rev. Alfred Cockfield II.

The $10,000 donation, which was wired to the Zeldin campaign by the group’s treasurer, Carmen
Sterling, was posted on the state Board of Election’s website Monday night — just hours before
Tuesday’s final Election Day vote.

Within two weeks of an election, campaign committees are required to report new donations within 24
hours to the state elections board.

The donation will surely raise eyebrows. Cockfield is considered one of Adams’ early supporters and
confidantes, sources said.

‘Lack of enthusiasm’: What light early NYC vote could mean for Kathy Hochul
By Carl Campanile , Nolan Hicks and Bernadette Hogan

Lev Radin/Pacific Press via ZUMA Press Wire

Turnout during the nine days of early voting in overwhelmingly Democratic New York City was light —
and experts say the lack of early enthusiasm could portend trouble for incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul.

Hochul, who was forced to call in the cavalry — Bill and Hillary Clinton and President Biden and Vice
President Kamala Harris — in a bid to wake up slumbering New York Democrats the past week is in
the political fight of her life against surging Republican challenger Lee Zeldin.

A total of 432,634 voters turned out early in the five boroughs even as both public and internal polls
have showed a very tight race.

“The lack of enthusiasm for the Hochul campaign is validated by these mediocre [early voting]
numbers,” said political consultant Hank Sheinkopf.
