Democrat Panic Sinks in, as New York Is ‘a Battleground State Now’

Nick Gilbertson 10 Jul 2024

Former President Donald Trump’s plan to expand the universe of swing states is paying off. Left-wing panic is reportedly sinking in over New York’s increasingly competitive status, with one local Democrat official saying it has morphed into a “battleground state.”

Politico reported on the development in the long-blue Empire State on Wednesday in the wake of President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Trump on June 27:

    Elected officials, union leaders and political consultants are panicking over polls showing a steady erosion of Biden’s support in a state he won by 23 points four years ago. They’re so worried they’ve been trying to convince the Biden team to pour resources into New York to shore up his campaign and boost Democrats running in a half-dozen swing districts that could determine control of the House.

Worry is so fervent that Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine (D) is warning that the state, which voted Democrat in each of the last nine presidential elections, is now in “battleground” status.

“We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been,” he told Politico. “I truly believe we’re a battleground state now.”

Indeed, Trump has shown he is moving within striking distance of Biden in New York in two of the latest polls out of the state, which reveal a vastly different landscape than the 23-point margin Biden carried the state by in 2020.

The electoral votes would be great. But even better, the heads exploding on the left. :laugh:

New York is not a battleground state. It will go for which ever Democrat runs

It's Summer.  People are distracted.  There are plenty more news cycles ahead to entertain us.

One thing is apparent - the Dems Lawfare strategy is a bust.

Complete agreement with LMAO above (reply 2).

The election outcome in New York is a foregone conclusion. End of story.

Every state needs to be a battleground state.  Every district needs to be a battleground district.  If America is to recover from its mallaise, every politician needs to be primaried, and needs to be running scared.

Assuming New York swung like the national popular vote, Biden still wins by 15. 

It's kind of the same deal as Illinois.  60% of the voters live around NYC.  If you sawed it off north of Peekskill, the upstate would be competitive.  The Hudson river valley would resemble interior New England while the remainder is midwestern. 

The Trump campaign should be prepared for what happens when Biden drops out.  To be sitting at 47% after the "emperor wears no pants" debate is not encouraging.

You'd have to "make the cut" a little further north, say just above Poughkeepsie.
And you'd have to cut off the Buffalo area and give it to Canada (they wouldn't want it).

And you'd still have to deal with Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton and Utica -- along with (of course) Albany.

Yup.  This is the leftist media trying to build pressure.for Biden to quit.
And it originated right here in New York in 2010, when Andrew Cuomo used the exact same tactics to drive out incumbent David Paterson.

The drumbeat of polls showing Carl Paladino and Rick Lazio beating Paterson head-to-head remind me of the same ones showing Trump trouncing Biden now. It's fool's gold. I've seen it before.

Point of order, though:

The other blue spot in Central New York is not Binghamton (its county, Broome County, is red). It's Ithaca. And as a FReeper once astutely noted...

Ithaca is the city of evil.

I will also note that Buffalo's county, Erie County, did vote for favorite son and Trump ally Carl Paladino for governor in 2010. Though it's left, it's not hopelessly New York City-level left, except the East Side.
