Hochul Fires Back at Vance's 'Katie' Slip with a Two-Sentence Zinger

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul delivered a sharp two‑sentence quip after JD. Vance repeatedly misnamed her as “Katie” during a Long Island rally for GOP candidate Mike LiPetri. Hochul corrected him by saying, “It’s still Kathy,” and mocked the name‑change jab as inaccurate, while Vance had earlier attacked LiPetri’s opponent, Rep. Tom Suozzi, saying he “represents her” rather than the voters. The exchange comes amid a week of political snark around the vice president’s activities.
