New York Democrats are bracing for stunning Election Day losses, and they already have a fall guy
CNN, Nov 4, 2022

Democratic officials and strategists in New York tell CNN they are bracing for what could be stunning losses in the governor’s race and in contests for as many as four US House seats largely in the suburbs.

With crime dominating the headlines and the airwaves, multiple Democrats watching these races closely are pointing to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, accusing him of overhyping the issue and playing into right-wing narratives in ways that may have helped set the party up for disaster on Tuesday.

“He was an essential validator in the city to make their attacks seem more legit and less partisan,” said one Democratic operative working on campaigns in New York, who asked not to be named so as not to compromise current clients.

Adams came out as saying that crime (in the subway system) was a "perception" problem, as if it was all a matter of semantics!!! The crime issue DOES exist. Go Zeldin!!!!
