\n

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has released a blistering new ad featuring an AI-generated Gov. Kathy Hochul being \u201ctruthful\u201d about what her reelection would look like, going after his rival on everything from affordability and crime to illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what Kathy Hochul\u2019s New York really looks like,\u201d Blakeman wrote on X Tuesday in a post accompanying the video, while pledging to cut taxes, restore cash bail and make New York safe and affordable again.<\/p>\n

The 60-second spot features a Hochul facsimile walking and talking against the backdrop of various familiar New York locales, boasting about everything from raising taxes to soft-on-crime policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provided luxury accommodations for illegal migrants in beautiful hotels just like this,\u201d the AI-Hochul says from a digitally generated lobby of a hotel where a line of immigrants totes luggage and wait to be served at the front desk.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we raised taxes by $8 billion for the programs that matter, like free healthcare for sex workers, and lucrative no-bid contracts to the politically connected,\u201d she continues, walking through a city park lined with benches occupied by sleeping homeless people.<\/p>\n

The ad hit Hochul on increasing energy prices statewide, showing the governor\u2019s digital doppelganger strolling through a hilly expanse dotted with wind turbines<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to our hard work, we\u2019re leading the nation giving foreign companies energy contracts, which means your energy bills go up, but I get invited to all the best donor dinners now,\u201d the fake gov says, appearing at a computer-rendered formal reception smiling and clinking glasses with a group of older men wearing tuxedoes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve raised tolls and fares more than 20 times, because the best way to fix traffic is to ensure regular people can\u2019t afford to drive or take the subway,\u201d Hochul\u2019s AI avatar says while crossing a highway overpass.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we ended cash bail so that we would stop punishing people who commit brutal crimes against fellow New Yorkers, like this nice young man,\u201d she says, gesturing to a muscle-bound, tattoo-covered man wearing an intimidating facial expression outside of an AI-generated NYPD 17th Precinct building.<\/p>\n

\u201cWant some crack?\u201d he happily offers the governor in what is easily the funniest moment of the spot.<\/p>\n

The ad concludes with AI-Hochul walking down a New York City street lined with brownstones \u2014 showing her rallying against steps to make the city better,<\/p>\n

\u201cThis November, don\u2019t let Bruce Blakeman lower your taxes or make New York safe. Keep it unsafe and unaffordable with Kathy Hochul as your governor,\u201d the ad concludes, flashing a mock-up campaign sign reading \u201cCriminals, Cronies, and Illegal Immigrants for Hochul.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The ad comes on the heels of Hochul paying a visit to Blakeman\u2019s home turf in back-to-back appearances in Nassau and Suffolk counties, where she slammed her rival and fellow Republicans on driving up costs for New Yorkers by backing President Trump\u2019s tariffs and war in Iran.<\/p>\n

The latest polling shows Hochul\u2019s lead has narrowed to just 6 points among likely general election voters, with 12% still undecided, according to a new survey conducted by co\/efficient for the right-leaning Coalition to Protect Nassau Taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, and Blakeman is hoping to thwart Hochul\u2019s efforts to win a second full term in office.<\/p>\n
