TL;DR

Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres is considering a run for New York governor and is sharply criticizing current Governor Kathy Hochul, comparing her vulnerabilities to those of President Joe Biden before he dropped his reelection bid. Torres plans to tour New York to raise his profile and assess the state's needs. He argues that Hochul's low approval ratings and erratic governance could lead to a Republican victory in 2026, potentially by GOP Rep. Mike Lawler. Other Democrats have also expressed concerns about the party's statewide prospects.
