Cuomo was a very effective politician.

Cuomo won by a huge margin. Hochul won by a smaller but still comfortable margin. So she's safe, and she's also got a base of support that's further left and less enthusiastic about the status quo.

That means she has an opportunity to change more things about NY than Cuomo could (or wanted to).

Which is more effective, the one who wins elections by a larger margin, or the one who has more of an effect while in office?

Just tell her to do all that without all the corruption stories I been hearing about her. I don't like corruption.
