Kathy Hochul Is Looking for a Lieutenant Governor in New York City.
Mr.
Cuomo and Ms.
Hochul had no real working relationship; the two seldom appeared together in private strategy sessions or at public events.
Ms.
Hochul said she was eager to change that dynamic, envisioning a relationship similar to the one President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have established.
“I’m also looking for someone to be in the room,” Ms.
Hochul said last week, “someone that I trust, and has good instincts, but also someone that I enjoy being with.”

Mr.
Bailey, 38, is considered a rising star in Bronx politics, and is said to be interested in the position, according to several sources.
Mr.
Bailey, who was elected chair of the Bronx Democratic Party last year, also has strong relationships in Albany; he counts Carl E.
Heastie, the Assembly speaker, as a mentor.
Mr.
Bailey spoke with members of Ms.
Hochul’s team last week who gauged his interest in being appointed lieutenant governor.
