Some Democrats are warning their party that how New York leadership is handling the influx of migrants could backfire and be a "disaster" for their party in the next election.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Governor Kathy Hochul have been publicly feuding this week over how each has managed the migrant crisis which is stretching city resources. Over 100,000 migrants have been provided shelter and services in NYC since last spring, Mayor Adams' office has reported.

Worried Democrats told the New York Times that if party leaders fail to fix the crisis, it will cost them dearly in the next election, after the party lost four House seats on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley to Republicans in the 2022 midterms.

"It’s just a question of when this all sort of explodes," Democratic political consultant Charlie King, a former lieutenant governor candidate, told the paper. "I just don’t know how long you can evade this, and I don’t know that it gets better in the next 18 to 24 months."
