Being in Gillen's district, I'd say she knows she's in trouble in a general election, barring Republicans failing dramatically at recruiting-the Town of Hempstead is still very Republican turf.

Souzzi doesn't really have an excuse though, especially if he's considering primarying Hochul like I suspect he might be.

If Suozzi really wants to go for governor, then why did he run for Congress again? His previous Hochul challenge not only came nowhere close to succeeding, but stuck his constituents with George Santos' "representation" for a year.

Maybe he responded to entreaties to do so "for the team", but it isn't necessary for him to be in office to run statewide again--and if he's considering challenging Hochul, he's not the only one (and multiple opponents mean she probably skates, at least in the primary.)

She just won a general election in a Republican year.

She also pissed off all sides of the political spectrum by taking five different positions on congestion pricing.

He really needs to give up on running statewide, he's lucky he still has a career after two disastrous runs for governor

Yeah Dems really need to talk him out of running statewide and just running for re-election like they should have in 2022.
