The election might be two years away, but two ambitious members of Congress on both the right and left appear to be angling for Gov. Kathy Hochul’s job.

Democrat Rep. Richie Torres and Republican Rep. Michael Lawler have been focusing on Hochul in the wake of this month’s elections, pointing out apparent weaknesses in her political armor.

“Look, I think it speaks volumes that from the right and the left she’s getting whacked,” Lawler told NY1 in an interview on Tuesday.

“We’ve seen a rise in crime in New York state and New York City. If she calls that governing, the majority of New Yorkers are unimpressed and the poll numbers would suggest as much,” Torres added in a separate press conference outside City Hall.

Despite spending millions of dollars to help win back a handful of congressional seats and maintain Democratic control of the state Legislature — Torres isn’t giving Hochul any credit.

“She arbitrarily and abruptly cancels congestion pricing and then reverses herself after the election and this to me reflects the kind of chaotic, erratic governance that one would expect from a Trump presidency,” he said.

Torres slammed his fellow Democrat as ineffective and compared her to Joe Biden — making the case that she’s not included in the future of the party.

He admitted on NY1 earlier this week he’s eyeing her job.

“I am considering it, yes,” he said during a “Mornings On 1” interview on Monday.

Hochul defended herself on Tuesday, breaking from relative public silence over the last several weeks in the face of criticism.

“We’re working hard to deliver government for people of New York, and those who have government jobs, who aren’t focused on their jobs and are more focused on an election that’s almost two years off. I would think their constituents might have a problem with that, but I’m here working for the people who put me in office,” she said in a response to a question from NY1.

Hochul is taking hits from both sides of the political arena. Newly reelected Lawler is also mulling his own gubernatorial run.

“We’re strongly looking at it, won’t make a decision for quite a while. Obviously, we have a lot of work to do down in Washington come January and want to hit the ground running. But New Yorkers certainly need a change. We need to restore balance and common sense in this state,” Lawler said.

He won’t let voters forget that she’s re-starting congestion pricing.

“The fact is that this is a scam! It is a money grab. It has nothing to do with reducing congestion,” Lawler said.

Pointing to Hochul’s low approval ratings, Lawler pointed to how Donald Trump had the strongest showing of any Republican presidential candidate in New York since 1988.

“She has been the most inept, feckless governor in America and she has not addressed the major issues impacting New Yorkers from the cost of living to the quality of life,” he added.

Both Torres and Lawler chipped at her approach to public safety.

Torres blamed Hochul for helping contribute to the recent triple homicide allegedly at the hands of a man now known as a recidivist.

“Under what circumstance is an early release of a dangerous criminal remotely justifiable? So that is a failure that squarely belongs to the city,” he said.

Separately, Lawler piled on.

“You look at the crime crisis, the migrant crisis. The fact is New Yorkers are leaving this state in droves,” he explained.

Asked if she’ll continue to ignore her antagonists, Hochul said she’s going to focus on running the state.

“It’s perceived as I’m doing my job. If I’m going to get out there and swat back every little comment that’s made about me in the next two years, I’m not using my time effectively! For people who are in campaign mode: I’m in governing mode, and that’s where I’m going to stay,” she said.

Hochul is up for reelection in 2026.
