Mike Johnson: 'Voters are going to remember which political party played games with their lives'

A new survey shows that GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik (NY) would beat incumbent New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in a head-to-head match-up with independent voters. The survey asked New York voters who they would vote for if the 2026 gubernatorial election were held today. Stefanik secured 41% of “Independent/Other” voters against Hochul, whereas fellow Republican, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, secured 29% of independents against Hochul. Blakeman, who just recently won re-election as county executive, is reportedly seriously mulling over a run for governor. Notably, Stefanik edged out Hochul by three points in their match-up with independent voters. The survey, conducted by J.L. Partners, focused largely on different Republicans’ chances against Hochul in the coming election. Stefanik, who officially announced her candidacy for governor this month, would perform much better than Blakeman, according to the poll. In Blakeman’s hypothetical match-up against Hochul, he loses by 11 points with all voters. When Stefanik is matched up against Hochul, she only loses by three points. The margin of error for the poll is estimated at 4.4%. Stefanik seems to be gaining on Hochul, too. As highlighted by The Daily Wire last month, a GrayHouse poll showed Hochul leading Stefanik 48% to 43% with New York voters. Again, the most recent poll shows Stefanik only down by three points. Stefanik announced her bid for governor just days after Zohran Mamdani won the election to be New York City’s next mayor with Hochul’s endorsement. Mamdani has been criticized as anti-police and antisemitic, and ran on “free buses,” government-run grocery stores, sky-high taxes, and other extremely far-Left promises. “Kathy Hochul is the Worst Governor in America. Under her failed leadership, New York is the most unaffordable state in the nation with the highest taxes, highest energy, utilities, rent, and grocery bills,” Stefanik said when she announced. “When New Yorkers were looking for leadership from our Governor, she bent the knee to the raging Defund the Police, Tax Hiking Communist causing catastrophe for New York families.” Stefanik has promised to introduce policies to lower the cost of utilities, energy, and groceries. The Republican has also boasted of her efforts to fight “woke insanity in our schools” and support small businesses. She’s additionally targeted Hochul for “cozying” up to Mamdani, whom she described as an “antisemitic communist.” Related: Stefanik Launches Gubernatorial Bid To Oust Empire State’s ‘Communist’-Loving Red Queen

More than five years after his tragic death, a Marvel star will receive a huge honor. Chadwick Boseman passed away from colon cancer in August 2020 at just 43 years old. It was a devastating loss for those who loved him, including his colleagues in Hollywood. Billboard reported Chadwick will receive his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame posthumously. Ryan Coogler, who directed Black Panther, and his Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom co-star Viola Davis will speak at the ceremony. Chadwick’s widow, Simone Ledward-Boseman, will accept the award on her late husband’s behalf. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chadwick Boseman Foundation (@bosemanfdn) Chadwick Boseman Had A Short But Promising Career He played Jackie Robinson in 2013’s 42, solidifying Chadwick Boseman as a star. Sadly, cancer took his life a few short years later, but not before he made a big impact on Hollywood. Per Billboard, Steve Nissen, president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, will emcee the event on November 20, and Chadwick’s star will be at 6904 Hollywood Blvd., in front of the Hollywood Experience. “The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is deeply honored to celebrate Chadwick Boseman’s extraordinary legacy with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” Ana Martinez, Hollywood Walk of Fame producer, said in a statement. “His powerful performances and enduring impact both on and off screen continue to inspire generations around the world.” Following Chadwick Boseman’s death, the Colon Cancer Foundation released a touching statement about the actor. “Chadwick Boseman inspired generations through his singular performances in films such as 42, Marshall, and, of course, the Oscar-nominated Black Panther. Only after his death did the world learn that he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2016, the same year he debuted as King T’Challa in Marvel’s ‘Captain America: Civil War’,” the statement reads. “Everyone who watched him on screen knew that Chadwick Boseman was an outstanding actor. Many people also knew he was a social justice advocate and an amazing role model. Now we realize that he was also a real-life superhero, showing us what we are capable of achieving no matter what the circumstance.” This story’s featured image is by Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Disney The post Chadwick Boseman To Receive Huge Hollywood Honor appeared first on InspireMore.
