Gov. Kathy Hochul:
I know that Senator Schumer has New York state’s best interest at heart, because he’s also not just the major leader for the Senate, but also our state.
He has delivered time and time again for New Yorkers. There can be disputes within our party. This is not unusual in a family to have disagreements on a strategy. But also, at the end of the day, he and Hakeem Jeffries put out a statement together, working together to fight the Medicaid cuts. We cannot afford these cuts.
So, already, there’s like a unity that’s restored. And, again, going down the road, there will be more disagreements. That’s OK. But the bottom line is, who brought us to this place? Never forget it was the Republicans. And every day that we’re hitting each other is another day that Republicans are getting away with what they’re doing.
I’m going to continue to remind everybody, let’s stand together as often as we can, as loudly as we can against what the Republicans are trying to do to undermine not just our democracy, but our basic sense of security here, the chaos of the stock market, what you’re doing with tariffs, what you’re doing making lives more expensive here.
We have to stand up and call that out.
