Battered New York Republicans are calling to oust the longtime state party boss in the aftermath of Democrats’ Election Day romp — with some suggesting an outgoing congressman could be the new man for the job. State Party Chairman Ed Cox is facing growing heat after Tuesday’s blue wave swept through the Empire State as Rep. Mike Lawler’s name is being floated to take the reins of the party just days after losing his own reelection bid. “I think a lot of people really want Ed Cox’s head,” one New York GOP insider told The Post Thursday, two days after Democrats shellacked Republicans statewide during Tuesday’s election. “People have been complaining about Ed Cox for a while now,” said another. “There’s already movement behind the scenes with the conservatives to get rid of him.” Calls are growing for Ed Cox to be removed as head of the New York state Republican Party after midterm losses. CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images Cox, 80, has led New York Republicans for most of the last 20 years, a tenure which has seen Democrats dominate and few GOP returns — a situation reinforced Tuesday when Gov. Kathy Hochul crushed GOP challenger Bruce Blakeman

After 12 years in Congress serving at the highest levels of our nation’s federal government, I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of our great state — Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. And thank you to the voters in my district, who cycle after cycle in good years and bad, placed their trust and faith in me to represent them. I never felt entitled for your vote and I always worked my very hardest to earn it. There will be a lot written and discussed about the national repudiation of Republicans this cycle and I look forward to that conversation. However, New York deserves its own special attention after the historic loss at the ballot box. It is time to learn and rebuild. My theory of the case, having a front row seat to the political ups and downs over the past decade, has always been that President Trump is one of one — he is a singular figure larger than partisan politics. He built a unique historic coalition in 2016, mounted the most noteworthy political comeback of all time, survived an assassination attempt, and won the popular vote in 2024. He also energizes and unifies Democrats and

The old movie theaters of Upstate New York were once landmarks of everyday life. Downtown movie palaces filled the sidewalks of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany. Smaller houses in places such as Saranac Lake, Geneva, Oneonta, and Watertown offered the same excitement on a different scale. A theater could be a family’s Saturday afternoon destination, a teenager’s first date, or a place where the town gathered for a film everyone was talking about.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from some of the wildest policies espoused by leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America . Hizzoner downplayed the possibility of him getting booted out of the lefty group while claiming there’s mainstream public support to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “The thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” Mamdani told “Fox News Sunday” in a pre-taped interview. “I think what we’re seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis,” he added. “Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani once again distanced himself from key tenets of the DSA platform.

Neighbors of the I-81 viaduct project visited the Palladian Hall and Treasury in downtown Syracuse to learn about the project's second phase Thursday Night. Franklin Square resident Arianna Abrams says she came because the project will affect her neighborhood. “I know that there needs to be change in order to make things a little bit better for transportation in the city,” Abrams said. “So I knew it was going to be a good thing, but also a little bit of anxiety for all of that change.”
