New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman are making their final campaign push ahead of Tuesday's election, as early voting across the state surges well above 2022 levels.

More than 485,000 New Yorkers voted during the first two days of early voting, compared to approximately 262,000 four years ago, an increase of about 85%. Early voting ends Sunday, with both candidates focusing on getting supporters to the polls.
