News Analysis

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul gave an impassioned speech at a rally at Barnard College on Nov. 3, in the course of which she repeatedly portrayed her Republican opponent in the Nov. 8 gubernatorial election, Lee Zeldin, as a MAGA-style Republican extremist who seeks to roll back so-called hard-won rights in the areas of reproductive freedom, voting, civil rights, and gun control.
