Candidates for governor make final push for votes as early voting nears

To vote 2026 now and the race for governor. Governor Hochul is on the island today and her challenger, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, is campaigning in Westchester. We spoke with both of them about their push for votes ahead of Election Day. Blakeman was at a canvas kickoff for one of the state's key political battlegrounds. He says he is focusing on affordability and safety. So I will end those policies that make us less safe. I will cut taxes and I will cut your utility bills in half. I want to make people happy again, create better jobs, and I won't spend $8 billion of your money on illegal migrants giving them free food, free housing, free transportation. Governor Hochul stopped by a South Asian leader's meet and greet in Valley Stream. She spoke about the importance of diversity and the American dream for immigrants in the U.S. They know I'll stand up to ICE. They know I'll protect their families from the tariffs and all the outrageous things Washington is doing to make their lives more expensive. We are doing everything we can to put more money back in New Yorkers' pockets. Largest middle class tax rate cut in 70 years. Both candidates are stressing the importance of getting people to the polls to vote.
