For 10 years, Andrew Cuomo dominated New York politics through force of personality and the hoarding of power. His successor, Kathy Hochul, appears poised to do something like the opposite.
. She’s also gifted hundreds of millions of dollars to her home-town N.F.L. team, the Buffalo Bills, for a new stadium; raised tens of millions from special-interest groups, including the real-estate, gambling, and cryptocurrency industries; and seen her own pick for lieutenant governorPerhaps a better question to ask is what the rest of New York’s political system wants from Hochul. Cuomo’s downfall was about, but it was also about power.
That Hochul is a weaker governor than her predecessor has been a welcome change for many in state politics. Even after a budget season in which the left was stymied on many priorities, there’s still a sense that Hochul’s malleability offers something for everyone. And, in the months since she took office, the importance of New York state politics, in terms of national Democratic Party priorities, has only increased.
