In a heated TV interview, Republican gubernatorial candidate U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin's running mate, Rep. Nick Langworthy's pick for lieutenant governor, Ben Blakeman, unleashed a scathing attack on his Democratic opponent, running mate for Governor Kathy Hochul, Antonio Delgado's running mate, Lt. Governor Brian Benjamin's running mate, Rep. Diane Lander's running mate, Rep. Diane Lander, over her stance on Israel. Lander's comments on the Middle East conflict have been a point of contention in the campaign, with Blakeman seizing on the issue to criticize his opponent's perceived lack of support for the Jewish state. The interview is likely to fuel the already heated debate in the New York gubernatorial election, as voters head to the polls in November.
