The Republican Long Island congressman was feeling the mojo so much that he compared his longshot gubernatorial campaign not only to former Gov. George Pataki but also to Prince, of all people.
CASTLETON-ON-HUDSON, New York—Fresh off of a sunset helicopter ride,The Republican Long Island congressman was feeling the mojo so much that he compared hisnot only to those of repeat New York victors such as Sen. Chuck Schumer and former Gov. George Pataki—the last Republican to win statewide back in 2002—but also Prince, of all people.
“I would strongly encourage anybody who cannot vote in-person to make sure they request an absentee ballot and get that ballot in,” Zeldin said when asked by The Daily Beast if he has confidence in mail-in voting, adding that New York has procedures “stricter than red states” that should inspire confidence.
For the pair of Empire State Republicans, Thursday night’s rally in front of more than 3,000 was a homecoming of sorts. Stefanik said the crowd was the biggest she’s seen for a rally in upstate New York in recent memory and promised voters they’d have a “once in a century” chance to flip the script by ousting Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has yet to face voters after taking over forZeldin framed his campaign as wanting to “restore balance” to Albany, making an appeal to independent voters and disaffected Democrats.
That leaves massive crowds on Election Day and much higher than usual turnout in the upstate and Long Island regions as Zeldin’s main source of hope, but rally attendees were feeling just as confident as the Prince-inspired candidate.
