The Point: Republican Lee Zeldin on his political future after historically strong challenge to Gov. Kathy Hochul
Republican Lee Zeldin mounted the strongest challenge to a sitting Democratic governor in almost 30 years - since George Pataki beat Mario Cuomo in 1994.
The former congressman is starting the next chapter in his political life and he doesn't plan to keep quiet.
The Point
Zeldin, an army veteran and karate black belt, may have lost the governor's race, but he led a red wave in New York that helped Republicans take control of Congress.
Now, he hopes to spread the gospel around the country.
