NY Post: Progressive Wave Upends Establishment Picks in New York Primary

She got buffaloed.

Gov. Kathy Hochul-backed candidates largely got slaughtered in Tuesday’s primaries by a murderers’ row of Democratic Socialists of America insurgents — raising questions over how much political sway she holds after selling out to Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his “tax the rich” comrades.

On primary day, Hochul was notably checked out – sprawled on the grass of the new Buffalo Bills stadium, hobnobbing with the team’s billionaire owner Terry Pegula, instead of hitting the campaign trail as the DSA swept.

“She controls the levers of government, the state party infrastructure, and has a proven ability to win statewide. But Mamdani has demonstrated that there is growing political value in being perceived as an outsider willing to take on the establishment,” former Democratic state Sen. David Carlucci told The Post.
