Zeldin's Political Watch: Budget, Redistricting, and Gillibrand Run.

Lee Zeldin, the 2022 Republican gubernatorial candidate in New York, has not ruled out a potential run against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2024. Although acknowledging it would be an uphill battle, Zeldin said it would be an "extremely competitive race" if he did run. He is currently focused on helping local candidates for office this year but has launched a federal PAC, raising questions about his next move. Gillibrand has raised money off the possibility of a Zeldin challenge, but rumors of high-profile challengers against her have emerged in the past without materializing.
