Episode: Lee Zeldin's Surge in the Polls and his Crime-oriented Platform
Description: With Republican Lee Zeldin gaining rapidly in the polls on incumbent Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul, in our first segment we hear clips from a raucous Get Out The Vote rally for Kathy Hochul Sunday afternoon on the Upper West Side. The event was disrupted by Zeldin supporters and some really strange and disturbing anti-vaxxers. We hear from Indy reporter Ted Hamm who has a new article out on how Zeldin is using blatantly racist images, tropes and campaign promises to push his tough on crime message.
