Vice President Harris and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton joined forces Thursday to campaign for Gov. Kathy Hochul, as they sought to boost the Democrat in an unexpectedly difficult race against her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin.
While Democrats across the country have run heavily on abortion since the high court reversed the decision ending the constitutional right to the procedure,that the fear of losing the right to an abortion is shaping up as a less motivating factor in blue states such as New York, because of existing protections and Democratic-led state government committed to preserving it.
Hochul’s struggles come as Democratic congressional candidates in New York and other blue states are also struggling, forcing party leaders to devote time and resources to some races that appeared less favorable to Republicans earlier this year. Hochul is the first woman to serve as governor of New York. Formerly the lieutenant governor, she took office after the resignation of Democrat Andrew M. Cuomo last year. Clinton highlighted the historic nature of Hochul’s tenure in the state’s top job.
Harris denounced Republican efforts to restrict abortion access and ran through a list of Democratic accomplishments with the Biden administration.
