Ritchie Torres, a Congressman hailing from the great state of New York, has seemingly become the reluctant whistleblower for his party, issuing a stark warning about the perils of ignoring voter sentiment following recent elections. In a fiery proclamation, Torres has likened New York Governor Kathy Hochul to President Joe Biden, suggesting that she might not grasp just how vulnerable she is as a Democratic nominee. This revelation serves as a comic reminder that the Democratic Party is, yet again, at risk of misreading the room—something they seem to excel at.
The recent Siena College survey, which sent shockwaves through certain Democratic circles, highlighted a rather amusing predicament: Donald Trump boasts a higher approval rating than Hochul among New York’s likely voters. Yes, you read that right. In a land often portrayed as a bastion of liberalism, Trump is somehow sitting more favorably at 39% compared to Hochul’s dismal 34%. It’s almost as if the voters of New York are playing a practical joke on their Democratic leadership.
Torres outlined the dire ramifications of these numbers, claiming that a Democrat with worse favorability ratings than Trump is on the brink of disaster. If these numbers persist, Republicans could find themselves in the governor’s mansion for the first time in three decades come 2026. One can only imagine how deep the panic must run within the Democratic establishment as they contemplate the historical implications of their self-inflicted wounds. It’s a classic case of history repeating itself—except this time, the Democrats seem hell-bent on tripping over their own feet once again.
New York Democrat Issues Warning to His Party About Hochul

Adding to the amusement, Torres warned that “waiting until it’s too late” led to a Republican victory in the presidency in 2024 and could lead them down the same path in state leadership. One can almost hear the faint echo of Democratic heads hitting desks in frustration over the party’s tendency to snooze while their opposition sharpens their knives. Torres’ admonishment to avoid historical mistakes makes one wonder how many more lessons need to be learned before the party moves beyond their continuous state of denial.
In the midst of all this, it appears that Torres might have ambitions of his own, as Politico reported he may be angling for a shot at the governorship himself. With the Democrats in such disarray, one can’t help but question if this is strategic positioning or merely a vivid display of political opportunism. Regardless, the internal drama within the Democratic Party continues to unfold, making it clear that their grasp on New York might be slipping faster than a greased pig in a mud pit.
