New York Democrats and Republicans ran to their familiar corners in reacting to President Joe Biden’s fiery State of the Union address on Thursday night.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, a close political ally of Biden’s who attended the address as a guest of U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-Manhattan/Bronx), applauded the president for drawing a “stark contrast” between himself and former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee in this year’s election.
