Jay Jacobs

Jay Jacobs, leader of the New York State Democratic Party, says the odds are looking in the Democrat's favor for the upcoming midterm election, yet only slightly.

The results of the 2021 elections have democrats reassessing their strategy going into next year, and republicans have more confidence in their chances.

Governor Kathy Hochul said Jay Jacobs’ comments about Buffalo’s democratic mayoral candidate were wrong, but she is satisfied with his appolgy for now.

The leader of the state’s Democratic Party is personally endorsing Governor Kathy Hochul for election in the June 2022 Democratic Primary and the general election, next November. And he’s asking other potential candidates who have expressed in interest in challenging Hochul to hold off for now, saying multiple candidates competing in a primary could be chaotic and harmful to the party’s chance of winning next year.
