AINews Summary
Outside spending is ramping up in the New York governor race, with a new PAC pledging millions to support Bruce Blakeman and attack Kathy Hochul. A recent preview says Hochul is running for another term and still benefits from New York’s Democratic registration advantage. The outside spending could give Blakeman more support, but the Democratic registration edge still favors Hochul. Overall, the news looks mildly supportive of Democrats and keeps the race tilted toward them.
