He was interviewed on Majority Report and Emma Vigeland promoted him on X as running to the left of Hochul. Krystal Ball also claimed he was a leftist.

As a former representative, he voted with Biden 100% of the time. Even Politico identified him as a moderate. He's also a former corporate lawyer.

In this interview, he denied to be labeled as a progressive.

It's unfortunate we don't have any other options. If only we could get Cynthia Nixon, Zephyr Teachout, or Jumaane Williams to run again.

Krytal suddenly really dropping the ball. Very sad.

Majority report are Biden riders so they hold no value
