I doubt she gained anything politically from delaying it in the first place. And if the Trump administration can genuinely stop this, they would have been better off implementing it as planned.

She's moving forward with it so that Trump can block it. Then she'll say "look at me fight trump" and also "nothing we can do sorry"

@huginn @vividspecter It’s not like the potential for another Trump administration wasn’t foreseeable. Hochul and her allies should have considered that and Pete Buttigieg and others at USDOT should have reminded them. Then again, when I started urban planning school in 2005, the potential for congestion pricing in New York was the talk of the town so it’s not like these centrist cowards are the first to delay it.

My point is that it was foreseeable and it was her goal. She never wanted congestion pricing, she wanted to run on it because it was popular and then tank it in a way that won't hurt her reelection.

This is calculated.
