It's been four years since Kathy Hochul was elevated to the executive mansion, so we're looking back at her time as governor.

Breaking down the governor's successes, missteps and future is Politico New York reporter Nick Reisman, co-author of New York Playbook. We discuss the Hector LaSalle debacle, how the Hochul administration compares to four more years of Andrew Cuomo, and the looming challenges of 2026.
