Campaign week wrap: Hochul opens a Queens field office attacking Blakeman on Medicaid and data centers; Blakeman works the State Fair
NY1's week recap adds two stops not previously logged: Hochul headlined the opening of a campaign office in Jamaica, Queens, telling Democrats Blakeman "supports the cuts in Medicaid" and "data centers in every single community," while Blakeman campaigned at the State Fair Friday saying Hochul is "not backing our farmers" and calling New York "the most overtaxed state in America." Marist's Lee Miringoff frames Blakeman's Trump tightrope and Hochul's downstate-governor burden. Hochul spokeswoman Sarafina Chitika responded to Blakeman's "computer" ad: "The Governor misspoke, immediately apologized, and got back to work."
