Trumping the issues
- Republicans are trying to build on Trump's gains in New York and are eager to flip the governor's mansion for the first time in 20 years. And while the GOP down-ballot lost three battleground House seats, Democrats are nervous their generation-long hold on statewide power could finally slip.
The article from Politico's New York Playbook, dated January 8, 2025, discusses the political landscape in New York, focusing on Donald Trump's influence and the upcoming political events. It highlights Trump's continued impact on New York politics, even after his presidency, through his endorsements and the loyalty of his voter base. The piece mentions the upcoming special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District, where Trump's endorsement could play a significant role. Additionally, it covers the state's political figures' reactions to Trump's ongoing legal battles and his potential run in 2024, alongside local issues like crime rates, housing policies, and the state's response to the migrant crisis. The newsletter also touches on the internal dynamics within the New York Republican Party, with some members pushing for a move away from Trump's shadow, while others remain steadfast supporters.
