As I was sitting down with @GovKathyHochul for an exclusive interview, we were just getting new information from Washington about President Trump's spending freeze, possibly being reversed.

You can't write the story of @JoeBiden without a chapter on Syracuse. Because of his local roots, he's visited more than any other @POTUS in history.

In a statement, Schumer said, “Micron is on the finish line for the CHIPS deal and I expect the final agreement to be signed as soon as this week. This will lock in the funding for Central New York and Idaho.”

RT @DSenFloor: CONFIRMED: Anthony Brindisi to be United States District Judge for the Northern District of New York By a vote of 50-49.

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Ryan declares victory over Nick Paro in 50th State Senate race after the latest results give him mathematical certainty of winning.

NEW NUMBERS: The biggest batch of outstanding ballots in the 50th State Senate Race has now been counted and included in these updated results. Democrat Chris Ryan’s lead tripled. He’s not ready to declare victory but the current margin is beyond the state’s recount threshold.

Leader @SenSchumer tells me he hopes to continue in Senate leadership as Senate Minority Leader when Republicans take over the majority in January.

“I’m confident Micron is here to stay and no one can touch that,” @SenSchumer tells me when asked about threats to the CHIPS and Science Act. President Trump will be “locked in by contract” once the deal is signed before Biden leaves office.

Rep. Stefanik has been the North Country congresswoman for almost 10 years, whose district also dips into portions of Central New York, the Mohawk Valley and the Capitol Region.

Coming up at 12:30pm on @NewsChannel9: Congressman-Elect John Mannion sits down with me for Newsmakers.

This I’ve never seen. While speaking at the podium, John Mannion gets a call from Congressman Brandon Williams to concede. #NY22

“We did it,” says John Mannion, whose campaign has declared him “congressman-elect.” #NY22

BREAKING NEWS: Mannion spokesperson has just declared him “congressman-elect.” He’ll be down to speak shortly. #NY22

@JoshNBCTV @NBCNews Glad I’m not the only one celebrating.

Before @SpeakerJohnson's comments about the CHIPS Act today, I asked @GovKathyHochul about former President Trump's comments calling the legislation "so bad."

After initially saying “I expect that we probably will” try to repeal the CHIPS Act, @SpeakerJohnson now clarifies "the CHIPS Act is not on the agenda for repeal."

New York isn’t a battleground state for the race to the White House, but it sure is a battleground for control of Congress. Top House leaders are headed to Syracuse in the days to come to campaign for their parties’ candidates.

I was awake super early to track Jeanette Epps' return home from space.

There's a lot of inflammatory language about the City of Syracuse's drinking water. I covered the lead pipe issue in August.

The stage is set for the #NY22 debate between @Brandon4NY22 and @MannionForNY. Join @JeffNC9 and me at 7pm on @NewsChannel9.
