NYT endorses Hochul over zeldin for governor because of his trumpism

[butters]

"He can easily be mistaken for the moderate that he likes to portray: just another average New Yorker worried about jobs and safety, family and gas prices. Someone who wants to shake up Albany and get things done," the Times wrote. "New York has a long, proud tradition of moderate, thoughtful Republicans, from George Pataki to Nelson Rockefeller. Mr. Zeldin is not part of this tradition.

"Over and over again, he has demonstrated a loyalty to Trumpism over his oath to defend American democracy and the Constitution." the board continued.

"Not only his beliefs but also his actions in the wake of the 2020 election make Mr. Zeldin unfit for the office he is seeking," the board wrote. "Across the nation, at the ballot box, Americans this fall are being asked questions about where they stand on truth, integrity, the rule of law and on democracy itself. New Yorkers are no exception."

NYT has not endorsed a Republican candidate for governor since 2002.
