State GOP stung by Trump-Mamdani timing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With less than six weeks left to elections in New York, more odd twists are possible. But this week’s September surprise is a doozy. President Donald Trump renewed his public bromance with Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday. And it gave Republicans here a sense of vertigo, having centered their campaigns on slamming all Democratic candidates as willing tools of the left-wing New York City mayor. Visiting Gracie Mansion, the elegant mayoral residence, Trump said he wants Mamdani to be a “great mayor

Once the Twin Towers burned and collapsed in al-Qaida’s murderous airplane attack on Sept. 11, 2001, homeland security became a visceral national mission.

Credit on crime is in the eye of the voter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Crime and policing always prove important in New York State elections. In 2022, the state bail reforms of 2019, which had become widely unpopular amid a scary crime spike during and after the height of COVID-19, gave Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin a useful angle of attack in challenging Gov. Kathy Hochul. Four years and one election later, Hochul seems to have gone as far as the Democratic legislature would allow in modifying the bail laws to give judges greater discretion to set cash bail, especial
