There is the thicket, and there is the path. For months, Democrats have been wandering in a thicket of words. Kathy Hochul just showed us the path.
Hochul has been the governor of New York since 2021. A small-ish person with a husky voice, she brings a refreshing unpretentiousness to her job. She spent part of her youth living in a trailer near a steel mill, and all of it living in Buffalo, a city where Moon Boots aren’t worn to make a fashion statement, where chicken is a hot-sauce delivery system, and where football fans celebrate by leaping from truck beds and crashing onto folding tables. Delicacy is not Buffalo’s forte.
