Quick Summary

At a campaign event in Hopewell Junction, Governor Kathy Hochul appeared alongside U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but distanced herself from chants that AOC’s supporters recently used at another rally in Ithaca. While addressing the crowd, Hochul criticized the controversial slogan as “antisemitic,” while also affirming her alignment with Ocasio-Cortez on several issues including fighting for affordability and opposing Trump administration policies. This appearance was seen as an attempt to appeal to both moderate Democrats and energized party left-wing voters ahead of the midterms, where polls show that voter turnout in deep-blue areas could significantly impact Hochul’s reelection chances against Republican Bruce Blakeman.

Story summary

Governor Kathy Hochul held an event with US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Hopewell Junction on Wednesday as part of her reelection campaign against Republican Bruce Blakeman. However, Hochul distanced herself from AOC's supporters who chanted "from the river to the sea," a slogan criticized for being antisemitic and associated with calls to eliminate Israel. At an earlier event in Ithaca, AOC faced similar chants but did not address them directly. Hochul stated that such rhetoric does not align with Democratic Party values while affirming her support for issues like affordability and opposition to the Trump administration's policies. Despite this disagreement, Hochul expressed interest in collaborating again with Ocasio-Cortez before the upcoming midterms.
