Our reading
Blakeman is running out of time, but not because he’s late to the party—Hochul’s lead is growing so fast, it’s like he’s trying to catch a train that left the station before he even got on.
Voters aren’t sure if either candidate can fix the cost of living, but they’re certain Hochul is the safer bet. It’s not that Blakeman is bad, it’s just that Hochul is the default choice when the alternative is a guy who hasn’t made a dent in the race.
Blakeman’s time is running out, but not because he’s slow—it’s because Hochul’s lead is widening faster than a New York subway car during rush hour.
