In this episode of the Scott Jennings Show, Bruce Blakeman, the Republican candidate for governor in New York, shares an update on his campaign. Blakeman reports high energy levels and momentum, with increased support from independents and Democrats dissatisfied with their party. He discusses the current polling situation, emphasizing his narrowing gap with Kathy Hochul, the incumbent governor. Blakeman criticizes Hochul's policies, pointing out the high taxes and crime rates in New York, and her decision to ban local law enforcement from cooperating with ICE. He also mentions receiving support from unexpected quarters, including a fundraiser hosted by Bonnie Lautenberg, the widow of a former Democratic senator, who disagrees with the current direction of the Democratic Party. Blakeman frames the election as a battle to reclaim the state from what he describes as an anti-American and dangerous political faction.
