She argued that down-ticket Republicans did better in New York because Hochul didn&#8217;t have as many coattails.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said that she believed the Democrats could have held onto the House in November if top New York pols had realized that the key issue in that state was crime,\u201d Dowd explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor didn\u2019t realize soon enough where the trouble was,\u201d Hochul was mentioned to Pelosi by Pelosi. She also stated that the issue should be addressed sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul took a lot of heat from Republicans \u2014 not the least of which was her opponent in the 2022 gubernatorial race, Lee Zeldin (R-NY). Zeldin was not only critical of Hochul&#8217;s inaction, but also found himself at the centre of several crime stories which he used to support his argument.<\/p>\n<p>Zeldin was at one campaign stop. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-republican-congressman-and-ny-gubernatorial-candidate-lee-zeldin-attacked-at-campaign-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">physically assaulted<\/a> \u2014 however, he and several others were able to subdue his attacker and hold him until police arrived to take him into custody. Zeldin, who was unharmed, resumed his speech on bail reform after the man was taken away \u2014 but his attacker\u2019s quick release from jail only served to back up Zeldin\u2019s claims that New York was not doing enough to put violent criminals behind bars and keep them there.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the campaign, a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/twin-daughters-of-ny-gov-hopeful-lee-zeldin-hide-as-shooting-unfolds-outside-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shooting took place<\/a> just outside Zeldin\u2019s Long Island home \u2014 while his teenaged daughters were in the house doing school work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter my daughters heard the gunshots and the screaming, they ran upstairs, locked themselves in the bathroom and immediately called 911,\u201d Zeldin explained. \u201cThey acted very swiftly and smartly every step of the way and Diana and I are extremely proud of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to some reports, Zeldin was not involved in the shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former House Speakeri Nancy Pelosi is blaming Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) for the Democratic Party\u2019s failure to retain control of the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections.
