News 12 reports:
Kathy Hochul, who became New York’s governor when her predecessor Andrew Cuomo resigned amid scandal, has declared victory in the New York’s gubernatorial race.
She was looking to make history Tuesday by becoming the first woman to win election to the job.
Hochul’s ability to break that barrier has become shaky in the final stretch of the election as her opponent, Republican congressman Lee Zeldin, has tapped into voter fears about violent crime and made the race competitive.
Zeldin, an ally of former President Donald Trump who objected to the 2020 election results, has made appeals to scared suburbanites and rattled urbanites amid a string of high-profile violent incidents.
The issue of crime is one that Republicans have been running on across the country and nowhere is its saliency more on display than in the campaign of Zeldin, who has harnessed it to carve a potential path to win in the blue state and become the first Republican elected New York governor in two decades.
Results of other races:
New York Attorney General race: Incumbent Democrat Letitia James beat Republican Michael Henry.
New York Senate race: House Majority Leader Chuck Schumer beat Republican Joe Pinion.
House 9: Incumbent Democrat Yvette Clarke beat Republican Mendy Raitport by a landslide, 82% to 17.9%.
House 8: Incumbent Democrat Hakeem Jeffries beat Republican Yuri Dashevsky.
Yikes New Yorkers
Big time!!!
four more years of getting pushed into subway tracks
With Hochul for another 4 years, the Big Apple will continue to become the rotten apple. More of us will flee to Florida.
She did such as great job to “clean up” the mess from Cuomo that we owe her tremendous hakaras hatov! Especially looking forward for the direct train that can take us from boro park to crown heights and the ohel that she came with the idea to pull it through! Congratulations! Looking forward to many more great ideas making it into reality!
…that idea hasn’t in fact made it into reality; there exists no such train.
So how’s about coming into the real world, and then explaining in what way she’s done such a great job “cleaning up” anything? Besides more money out of New Yorkers’ wallets, that is.
If you were here during Cuomo and when she took over, everyone saw the difference or maybe in your world – it’s the same?!.that would be very sad. Money out of peoples pockets – is a human sickness not a governor exclusive problem.
is because of Covid, not because Hochul has done anything useful. If you want to claim otherwise, then explain.
As for “money out of people’s pockets,” it’s called high taxes, crime, etc. Yes, a governor most certainly has an effect on those.
Why don’t u look it up? She approved the initial idea, now they need to make development plans – these things don’t happen in a few months
I think she’s great! The most important thing on the ballot for me was women’s reproductive rights, and Hochul has defended us throughout her campaign.
Your “reproductive rights” (sic; aborting a baby is exactly the opposite of reproduction) wouldn’t have been an issue; they’re up to the state legislature, not the governor.
The rights of all humankind are given by Hashem and morality guided by the Torah. A human given right does not cancel Torah morality and ethics. Women reproductive rights simply means that a woman gets to choose if to have a baby or not. We don’t live in China, no one is legislating if to allow you to become pregnant or not. Allowing abortion has much less to do with reproductive rights and all to do with morality. I write this with love and compassion, so that when you need to make these tough choices, you look towards the Torah… Read more »
We don’t look to the Torah for answers in America. You may do that in your own personal life, but American citizens do not live under religious law. And on top of that, the Torah and countless orthodox Rabbis allow abortion in multiple circumstances so I have no idea what you’re even talking about.
We are one nation under G-d, with a country founded for freedom to practice religion. Look at the Rebbe’s video about Thanksgiving.
I was responding to the commenter stating she is happy a particular candidate won because it will allow her to maintain her reproductive rights. As a Jew, that seems to be the wrong attitude. If the comment was about crime, we surely rely on government to protect us and you can be happy that a particular candidate won because you think he/she will be the best to protect you. That is not the case with morality and ethics. They are not dictated by a particular candidate. The only true morality is what Torah dictates. The proof to this is that… Read more »
what about your rights not to be prisoned with the plandemic of the scam covid
There are three [persons] who drive away the Shekhinah from the world, making it impossible for the Holy One, blessed be He, to fix His abode in the universe and causing prayer to be unanswered…. [The third is] he who causes the fetus to be destroyed in the womb, for he destroys the artifice of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His workmanship…. For these abominations the Spirit of Holiness weeps …
ZOHAR, SHEMOT 3b
Gd created us and our bodies belongs to Gd. It says in Psalms : “Of David, a song. The land and the fullness thereof are the Lord’s; the world and those who dwell therein.”. It says in Genesis: “For dust you are, and to dust you shall return”. Furthermore, after the great flood, Gd ordered the animsls and Noah and his family to leave the ark. Why did they have to be ordered to leave? They lived a peaceful existence on the ark but Gd wanted them to populate the world. It says in the Gemara: (6) Whoever sheds the… Read more »
yes you are. she’s rotten and worse than cuomo ever was or will be and he’s pretty bad. r”l for NY and America. a very very day sad. we have real bad issues going on, like very bad economy issues (financial hardships) crime, safety , border control etc, and no one cared, only pathetic liberals and snowflakes worried about abortion. its hard to comprehend how America is so messed up. the worse thing is that so called frum Jews and especially Lubavitchers support this goyishe way of life, and support abortions . shame on you
Here we come…
Suffolk County is having serious issues with their voting machines, and they were predicted to be very strong for Zeldin. There’s a weird smell to all this.
She only had a 300k lead, if anything fishy went on it’s very likely he should’ve won
I was waiting for someone to scheme up a conspiracy theory. Desperate people are all the same, bunch of sore losers who don’t know how to lose gracefully.
For example, those who were screaming about “Russian collusion.” Or “voter suppression.” And so forth.
Oh, but I forgot: It’s (D)ifferent When They Do It.
haha. what about Trump when he won, you snowflakes cried for 4 year that he didnt win.
We cried for 4 years because he did win, and Hilary Clinton accepted her defeat the way all previous candidates throughout our history have.
Trump is the only president who refused to accept the results of our free and fair elections, and then he incited an attack on our capitol and our freedom.
Till this day Clinton never accepted Trump won, you liberals and dems lie all the time and think we are going to believe it
Unfortunately I was expecting it to. It’s really such a Chilul Hashem when yidden say it’s “voter fraud” and “rigged” when their candidate didn’t win. It’s ok to be disappointed your candidate lost. But they lost. End of story. Don’t make us look like meshugenahs
These are some Bills that Lee Zeldin said he would VETO!
Good luck !

Now I will be forced to give my healthy pre school child the flu shot!!!
It is not about religion. Maybe you meant a different bill?
Its all rigged. There is no point in voting. They cheat and whoever is behind the scenes picks the winner they want and that is who wins. Voting is a scam to get you think you have a choice so you have to accept the “winner” even if you don’t like them. That’s the very truth.
the more you tell republicans not to vote, the more democrats will win.
You know he didn’t lose yet right? As I type Hochul is winning 52.9% to Zeldin’s 47.1% and only 89% of the votes are through.
Time for Melech HaMoshiach to call us home
Now even more Jews will want to move there
Much better than the anti-Semite and Jewish person running on the same ticket.
Pretty shocking who was running with the Maga dude.
Glad HaShem led the way with 💡
BH BH BH!!!! What a miracle!! Thank You Hashem!!!
REPUBLICANS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE= JOB DONE✅
REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP TO TAKE BACK WHITE HOUSE 2024
KEEP VOTING TRUMP FOR A BETTER ECONOMY AND KEEPING ERETZ YISROEL SAFE FROM ITS ENEMIES
What a relief. Women in NY remain safe and women in America still have somewhere to go when their lives are in danger.
That is, if they don’t get mugged or worse from just walking the streets of the place G-d forbid
Lol
With Hochul in office, women feel less safe.
With Hochul in charge, I know that my body is my own to control and not under the whim of a man. All my female sisters and I have a voice and a vote and a choice!
Very Sad
Yes, I agree with you Zelda, it IS VERY VERY SAD
😔 😟 🙁 😥 😞 😿 😔 😟
A VERY sad day for our children’s chinuch.
The left will take these results as a referendum for their woke movement to move on full force.
MOSHIACH NOW!!!!!
The next time the “Aroni” Satmars and the Skvers complain about secular education, I’ll tell them, “You voted for these people. Shut up and enjoy your welfare checks!”
It was ALREADY a sad day in childrens chinuch in NY when in 2019 parental rights in their childs medical choices were infringed upon by the repel of religious exemption ! This needs to be fully understood as a path to full atonement ! There are NO conditions NONE in halacha for a child to learn Torah! People need to start waking up to this.
Yidden! We need a united front to protect am yisrael.
OT and BCM better figure out a plan to teach some basics and quickly.
Mandatory English and Maths in our schools this is disaster…obvi a back door trap to critical race theory!!
No need to fear, Hashem is still running the show! Al tifdichu bindivim- we need to place our trust in Hashem alone. Of course we vote and we daven that the better one wins, but we don’t put our trust in a goy (who has no bechira chofshis). If we don’t like what she is doing, it’s Hashem we need to turn to. He is in charge of her heart and mind. He can and will make things good for the yidden. We’re not stuck in another 4 years of this. And anyway, Moshiach is coming any second! Hold on… Read more »
Time to move to Erez Yisroel or להבדיל, Florida
Hashem should protect us, especially the soldiers of Tzivos Hashem.
This election just may have given her a strong suspicion that the Jewish community does not support her
We should support all of our elected leaders, regardless of party affiliation. The fact that we would rather have someone else lead the State does not change that she works on behalf of every citizen and the citizens should wish for her to succeed.
The Rebbe spoke about this and explained it a lot clearer than I am.
Finally we are making a difference by voting for things we believe in, maybe now that they see we’re serious and are voting them out. Maybe they’ll take us seriously, as opposed to when they punch us in the face and we keep on voting for them as long as they throw us a few free things!!
So proud and happy!! So many lives will be saved because of this win. Great job NY!!
The lives of the unborn? Nope. The lives of those pushed onto subway tracks? Also nope.
The lives of women will be saved.
Which women are being “saved”? The women being violently attacked on the streets by homeless criminals?
She may have won anyway, but she did offer New Square and Satmar $$$ for their votes.
I just hope she does not retaliate against us because of all the advertising we placed against her.
The people who endorsed zeldin are not very smart or politically savvy. Those who are did not endorse him. A bunch of anonymous fools put up signs without asking those who know.
Zeldin is the worst, so happy for Hochul and all the democrats across the country who won!
You are TOTALLY wrong,
Do you even care about crime ?
Because she does NOT care about crime AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The FRUM people who think this is better for them & NY
Not sure what type of normal person would vote for her. Enjoy the handouts with the very short strings attached….
Forced vaccinations. Ruin our yeshiva systems. You can’t choose what to teach your kids but they can educate them that they can CHOOSE their gender & if they live at all…
Great job NY
Only win here is for the moving companies
You are so backwards. If you should ever be blessed to have children who believe in science and empathy and education, may you grow to be the parent they deserve and not what you’re portraying in this hateful comment.
What is hateful is that, in the US, which guarantees freedom of religion, yeshivas are being forced to compromise their curriculum for the idol of careers.
your comment makes no sense
maybe thats why you want Hochul…so you can learn to read English properly
There were no forced vaccinations because it was only required if you work in a job with 100+ employees and I don’t know many frum people who work such jobs who are antivax ignoramuses.
NYS Board of Elections Unofficial Election Night Results – Search under County –
Hochul received strong support of over 40% of vote in Long Island and Zelden received weak support under 18% in Manhattan. Suburban women and Manhattan women voted on the abortion issue after Supreme Court case, which have Hochul the win. – Jay from LI
In Proclomation 5956, the President Bush proclaimed
“Ethical values are the foundation for civilized society. A society that
fails to recognize or adhere to them cannot endure. Principles of moral and ethical conduct that have formed the basis
for all civilizations come to us, in part, from the centuries-old Seven
Noahide Laws. The Noahide Laws are actually seven commandments
given to man by God, as recorded in the Old Testament. These com-
mandments include prohibitions against murder, robbery, adultery,
blasphemy, and greed, as well as the positive order to establish courts
of justice.”
There is good news as well. Upstate in Monsey the Republican Lawler won over the left wing Maloney. At two pm today Lawler is giving his victory speech. The yidden there came out to vote in mass. This Maloney was a big fish in the Democratic Party. That’s why Biden and Clinton begged different rabbis and leaders to support Maloney. But for the future of our people we united and defeated him. Thank you Monsey and it’s sorrounding areas.
Could it be that the majority of NYers voted for 4 more years of this? Every law abiding citizen who earns their own living was already very unhappy with life in NY and things are not likely to improve, only the contrary.
It’s rigged the mail in ballot are out of control.
Another win for the deep state…say goodbye to yeshivah curriculum.
It’s going to be enforced Maths and English…I’m moving to Florida
.
She won by a margin large enough that the mail in ballots won’t make a difference. Stop embarrassing yourself and the community with nonsense you heard on fake news outlets.
