New York Governor Election: AP Projects Hochul Wins Re-election
The Associated Press projected on the evening of November 3 that Democratic incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul has won re-election in New York, defeating Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman.
When the AP made the call, 1,785 of New York's 13,268 precincts had reported, or 13.45%. Hochul had 691,615 votes, Blakeman 222,012, and write-ins 1,733. Counting is continuing; the figures are unofficial and final results are subject to certification by the state board of elections.
Hochul became governor of New York in 2021 and won a full term in 2022; this victory gives her a second full term. Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, was the Republican nominee for governor.
The governor's race was held statewide on the same day as the federal Senate and House elections, with Albany as the state capital.
