Hochul, Stefanik Squabble over Trump Megabill: ‘Welcome to the Fight’
- On Friday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Representative Elise Stefanik exchanged political attacks amid the upcoming 2026 gubernatorial race.
- The hostilities began after Hochul accused Stefanik of voting to close five hospitals in her district, endangering constituents to benefit Donald Trump.
- Stefanik retaliated by calling Hochul the "worst governor in America," criticizing Medicaid mismanagement, accusing Hochul of giving Medicaid to illegal immigrants and prioritizing vulnerable New Yorkers last.
- Stefanik said she has strengthened Medicaid and is nationally recognized as a top advocate for rural hospitals, while Hochul signed a bill codifying New York’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention to address public health crises.
- These exchanges mark a preview of the 2026 New York governor contest, with Stefanik mounting a shadow campaign and a recent poll showing 36% of voters support Hochul’s re-election.
