Senator Ted Cruz urged New York voters to support Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman in the upcoming election, framing the race as an opportunity to replace the state’s Democratic governor. His call to action emphasized the potential for a significant political shift, urging voters to reject the incumbent and deliver a surprise victory. The appeal comes as part of a broader Republican push to gain ground in key state elections. Cruz’s remarks highlight the high stakes in New York’s gubernatorial contest, where control of the office could influence state policy and national political dynamics.


Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) implored Empire State voters to "shock the country" by backing Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Blakeman and booting out incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Nov. 3.
