- "I hope the moderators address rising crime, cashless bail and other pro-criminal laws," Zeldin said in a statement.
- "I'll win," Hochul predicted.

Quick Glance: Good-by, Benjamin: the lieutenant governor has resigned.
- Who, if anyone, is scrutinizing bad Senate member things, demanding both giver and receiver to certify to no conflicts of interest?
- Was it approved by Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins?
- Did Comptroller Tom DiNapoli give his approval?
- (We're told no, because the Legislature deprived his office of that responsibility.) Is Attorney General Tish James certifying that everything is in order?
- And, after reading about Benjamin's problems in the media, did James or anybody else look into it further?
- And why was Hochul so supportive of him only six days ago?
- And why did Stewart-Cousins give him the Senate presidency just four days ago?
