Hochul’s State of the State proves she’s scared of losing in ‘26 but has no clue how to win

Gov. Kathy Hochul feigned concern about voters’ top issues, like crime and “affordability,” yet offered little reason to hope for progress on either front.

Her proposed tax cuts are better than nothing, but they’re far too small and limited.

On crime, she’s singing a new tune — unlike when she nearly lost the 2022 election after claiming it wasn’t an issue.
