Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lee-zeldin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lee Zeldin</a> (R-NY) came out swinging against Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kathy-hochul" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kathy Hochul</a> (D-NY) during Tuesday night&#8217;s New York gubernatorial debate, hitting the incumbent on the issue of rising crime in the deep-blue state.
When the duo were asking about crime in the state, Hochul promoted laws cracking down on gun rights and failed progressive policies.
A fiery Zeldin, in turn, ripped the Democrat, &#8220;Kathy Hochul believes that the only crimes being committed are crimes with guns; you have people who are afraid to be pushed in front of oncoming subway cars, they&#8217;re being stabbed, beaten to death on the street with hammers.&#8221;

&#8220;Talk to the Asian American community and how it&#8217;s impacted them with the loss of lives, Jewish people targeted with raw, violent anti-Semitism on our streets &#8212; it just happened yet again,&#8221; the Republican continued. &#8220;We need to be talking about all of these other crimes, but instead, Kathy Hochul is busy patting herself on the back, job well done. No, actually.&#8221;
&#8220;Right now,&#8221; Zeldin said, &#8220;there should be a special session&#8221; to &#8220;overhaul cashless bail and these other pro-criminal laws with zero tolerance.&#8221;

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul&#39;s plan to address the spike in violent crime? More gun control.

The support for Zeldin quickly sparked online, particularly with the responses on crime.
&#8220;Zeldin is telling a story about the personal impact of crime and lax enforcement by DAs,&#8221; Noah Rothman reacted. &#8220;It is very impressive. Hochul responds by brining up Jan. 6 and Zeldin&#8217;s votes on affirming the results of the 2020 election. He&#8217;s murdering her on this issue.&#8221;

“All my opponent can come up with is talking about the last election?” he quoted Hochul. &#8220;Hochul finally responds with some concrete stipulations about how she would respond to crime in a full term. She is not being pinned down on crime in ways her campaign didn&#8217;t anticipate so far.&#8221;

&#8220;I guess they’ll let him out on low bail then amirite? Heyooo,&#8221; CNN&#8217;s Mary Katharine Ham quipped, mocking progressive policies.

&#8220;Kathy Hochul said she is the first governor to ever work with a New York mayor to increase public safety. Totally insane,&#8221; political consultant Ryan James Girdusky responded.

A poll released last week showed Zeldin in the lead over Hochul in the deep-blue state, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-poll-shows-zeldin-with-a-small-lead-over-kathy-hochul-in-deep-blue-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
The poll of 1,056 likely voters, conducted by <a href="https://coefficient.org/nygov1021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Co/efficient</a> on October 18-19, shows Zeldin with a very slight lead over incumbent Hochul, 45.6%-45.3%; 9.1% of voters were undecided. The poll is within the margin of error, but it is the first poll from a nationwide firm showing Zeldin in the lead in deep-blue <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a>. The poll comes as <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/governor/ny/new_york_governor_zeldin_vs_hochul-7749.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple polls</a> have shown that the race is close.
