The Democrat mayor in New York City, along with Hochul, has delivered record crime, and people are fed up with not knowing if they’ll get pushed in front of a subway.

Buck has been touting Lee Zeldin for a year.

The democrats have gone into full on “run and hide” mode to try to scrape out some wins in this election

Pathetic and predictable https://t.co/7SlMR2Qnpr

In fact, at a Christmas party last year, Buck told him, “You’re going to be the next governor of New York.” Clay stated today that he thinks Zeldin will flat-out win.

Rep. Lee Zeldin was assaulted by a man with a weapon, and the attacker was released on bail shortly thereafter. @ClayTravis and @BuckSexton react to this madness.

We are really hopeful for a pickup here, and it’s all driven by crime and the economy, not all the fringe issues Democrats want to fight on.
