Chris Hayes: The Stakes Of The New York Governor's Race Between Zeldin And Hochul - All In - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Chris Hayes: If a Republican congressman who voted to support the insurrection wins a statewide race in New York, it means there's no penalty for endorsing Trump's attacks on our democracy. It's up to New York voters to decide if that's the message they want to send nationally. - Aired on 10/31/2022.
