In a predictably melodramatic response to Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential election victory, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James took to their media platforms to voice their discontent. It seems that the sight of a Trump win was enough to send them into a whirlwind of despair, with Hochul expressing her deep concern about what such an outcome could mean for the New York state and its future.
Hochul’s comments dripped with a mix of disbelief and distress, reminiscent of a soap opera villain watching their evil plan unravel. It appears the Governor may have underestimated the power of the American electorate, who decided once again to reject the policies championed by the left. Perhaps she thought that people would flock to her progressive visions instead of choosing a leader who stands for traditional values and common-sense governance.
Attorney General James, not one to be outdone in the drama department, joined the chorus of sorrowful narratives. She framed the election results as a fundamental threat to social justice and civil rights, as if the mere presence of Trump in office would somehow set civilization back to medieval times. The fact that their side had a hand in pushing an agenda that includes more government control must have slipped their minds. Apparently, in their world, any policy that doesn’t cater to their progressive ideals is a direct assault on democracy itself.
Do these two idiots understand that President Trump has a mandate?
Hochul barely got re-elected and if that same election had been held Tuesday she’d have lost….bigly.They proved, with their hyperbolic whining, that they do indeed target those they hate https://t.co/IbvoNqcKbR

As one can only expect, the responses from these two prominent New York figures were imbued with an air of palpable panic. They cautioned that America had taken a wrong turn, as if millions of voters hadn’t made a conscious choice to reject the status quo. Hochul and James seem to forget that elections have consequences, and perhaps instead of weeping over the outcome, they should focus on understanding why they lost.
This election was not merely a win for Trump; it was a resounding endorsement of conservative principles and a rejection of the perennial liberal doom and gloom narrative. While Hochul and James lament the results, it’s clear that the mandate from the people was undeniably loud and clear. Maybe a little self-reflection is in order; instead of crying into their pillows about Trump, they should consider why an overwhelming number of Americans chose to back him once again.
