new york lieutenant governor kathy hochul didn t mince words in her first press conference since governor andrew cuomo announced he would be resigning in the next two weeks. she made it clear that no one who did anything unethical in the state attorney general s report would keep their jobs. but when asked if she d pardon cuomo, she said it s, quote, premature for her to discuss. i m joined by cornell belcher. all right, my pollster friend, give me your skinny on the politics here. kathy hochul is a moderate conservative pro-nraish kind of democrat. she s sort of a republicany kind of figure. for her politics going forward, do you think a pardon of the governor is something you could see happening? well, for her politics going forward, i think a pardon of the governor doesn t help her politics going forward nor does it help the broader politics of democrats in the state.
around. now you have not just the so-called millennial or first global generation, now you have the little brothers and sisters who are the next generation. they intensely dislike the republican party. 69% of young people under 30 voted for ralph northum, a good guy, but i would call him boring centrist. i think rick scott loses to nelson because no matter what he says, he will be the gun governor, nelson will be the moderate reasonable democratic senator. let me go to my pollster. fernan fernando, is there enough voting power among those who want rational gun laws in a state like florida to overcome the nra s single issue voters? governor dean is exactly right. all of the polling both in florida and across the country
and every week i go up, up, up, up. and every week these idiots on television go they ve been saying this for months. before i started, my wife said to me if you run, you re going to win. she said nobody thinks you re going to run. she s my pollster. melania is my pollster. donald trump is still on top and he turns his attacks to 11. plus senator marco rubio defends his voting record. has he all but given up his day
because you know it s a lot being trump s kid is something, but do you think, man, it s a lot on them? i sat down with them and said this months ago. now you re in a very different place. my wife said something interesting. she s my pollster, okay? she said, you know if you actually announce, you re going to win. i said, what? as a supportive partner. no, it s great. she s the most wonderful person or smart to say that. but she said, you know if you announce, because no one thinks you re going to run. and that s what happened. once i announced, then people said, will he file this paper and that paper? and will he file his financials? and the financials were bigger than anyone thought. they thought i wouldn t want to file the financials. i m very proud. what i did, i have an unbelievable company, but she said to me, you know that if you actually announce, you know you re going to win. i said, i don t know that. but the response has been pretty
