On Tuesday, a pro-Republican PAC called "Strong and Safe New York," which supports gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, sent a convoy of eight moving trucks into Manhattan to criticize Governor Kathy Hochul. The trucks were parked outside City Hall and near Hochul's office, symbolizing the idea that New Yorkers are leaving the state due to high taxes and living costs under her leadership. According to an Empire Center statistic cited by the PAC spokesperson Chapin Fay, over one million people have left New York State in the past five years, largely citing affordability issues. The PAC claims this exodus is primarily driven by Governor Hochul's policies and those of Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
