It also didn’t help Democrats that they didn’t exactly get the same lengthy coattails to grab hold of as they’ve recently gotten from the top of the ticket. In the governor’s race, Hochul was winning by only a single-digit margin — 6 points right now, although that’ll grow because a lot of vote remains to be counted in deep-blue New York City. In the Senate race, Schumer won by 13 points (again, could change) after winning by much larger margins in past elections.
