We are pleased that so many New Yorkers continue to strongly approve of the job Senator Clinton is doing for New York.
While Ms. Pirro decides whether to run for Senate, attorney general, or neither, Senator Clinton continues to work hard in the Senate for all New Yorkers.
While Republicans make baseless charges, play politics, and run against each other in their primary, Hillary Clinton is spending her day working hard as senator for the people of New York.
We know at some point the Republicans will sort out this process and choose a nominee. In the meantime, Sen. Clinton will continue focusing on being the best senator she can be and delivering for the people of New York.
There's no question that we feel very good about the position we're in because Senator Clinton has done such a good job. But that doesn't mean whoever we end up running against isn't going to be well-funded. Given that, we need to prepare.
Six years ago, our biggest goal to was to get through the day and win an election. I wasn't thinking in terms of the future. But at the same time, I knew her and I had confidence that she would be a great senator and the people of New York would respond well to her.
Six years ago, she asked New Yorkers to take a chance on her. Over that time period, she has proven herself to be a good senator and an effective advocate for the people of this state.
It's the difference between night and day. It's the difference between being a sitting first lady running in a state she had never lived in, to being a successful senator representing New York.
