Democrat Kathy Hochul became the first woman elected to lead the Empire State after she defeated Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, according to the AP, in a closer-than-expected race. Hochul became the state’s first female governor last year after the resignation of Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo. #politics #midterms #kathyhochul #leezeldin #newyork #governor #andrewcuomo #midterms2022 #election2022 #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal #greenscreenvideo | Kathy Hochul becomes first woman elected New York governor | Green Screen Video
