Super PAC to the rescue!

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Blakeman needs help making up Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul's fundraising advantage, even with his campaign tapping into public financing. Coming to the rescue is the super PAC "Strong & Safe New York." We dive into the work of this independent expenditure with the super PAC's spokesman, Chapin Fay, who explains how they're trying to complement the Blakeman campaign. We also discuss the GOP hopeful's message discipline, his reluctance to lean into his pro-choice credentials, and a Republican-aligned poll suggesting Hohcul has a tight race.
