Dem Rep. Torres warns Trump is beginning to crack 'the ultimate blue wall' of American cities
 
Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., referred to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul as "the new Joe Biden," warning that Democrats could lose the 2026 gubernatorial election just like they lost the 2024 presidential contest.

"Kathy Hochul is the new Joe Biden. She may be in denial about the depth of her vulnerabilities as a Democratic nominee. A Democratic incumbent who is less popular in New York than Donald Trump is in grave danger of losing to a Republican in 2026 – an outcome not seen in 30 years," the congressman said in a post on X.
 
"Waiting until it’s too late gave us a Republican President in 2024 and could give us a Republican Governor in 2026. Let's avoid repeating history and avoid sleepwalking toward impending disaster and defeat," he suggested.
 

Fox News Digital reached out to request comment from the offices of Hochul and Torres, but neither immediately responded.

Hochul, Whitmer, Newsom.  The face of the progressive left with a collective IQ of 80.

Deep bench they have there.  All three need to be riding the pine.

Unless the New York state GOP can come up with someone who has name recognition and the power of traditional-minded, common-sense intellectual persuasion, furgheddabout it.

NY is as locked into leftism as is California or Illinois (so long as Cook County rules over the rest of that state).

It would take a "nearly nuclear" blast of reality to yank the reins of power from the communists' grasp there.
