"Trump's Bronx Rally Sparks Controversy and Low Turnout"

New York Democrats and liberal media figures criticized former President Donald Trump's campaign rally in the Bronx, labeling it as "fake" and a stunt to pay his legal fees. Despite the backlash, the rally drew a large, racially diverse crowd, surprising even some media reporters. Critics like Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dismissed the event, claiming attendees were not local and the rally was a ploy to soften Trump's image among minority voters.

NY Democrats Push Through New Congressional Map and Limit Challenges

New York Democrats rushed through new congressional maps that favor their party, and then passed a law to limit legal challenges to the changes in certain Democratic-leaning counties. The move has sparked outrage and accusations of undemocratic behavior from Republican lawmakers, who argue that the maps were designed to favor incumbents. The controversial changes come after the state's highest court ordered a do-over for the maps, and with potential lawsuits looming, the Democrats are facing criticism for their handling of the redistricting process.

New York Democrats nominate former congressman for special election, Letters to Santa, and a letter criticizing Fischbach's party loyalty

New York Democrats have nominated former Rep. Tom Suozzi for the special election to succeed expelled Republican Rep. George Santos. Suozzi previously represented the district for three terms before launching an unsuccessful primary challenge to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. The special election is scheduled for February 13 and is seen as a key bellwether for the 2024 general election. Santos was expelled from Congress after an Ethics Committee report found he had fraudulently exploited his House candidacy for personal financial gain. Suozzi is expected to officially announce his campaign on Saturday.

Tom Suozzi Chosen as Democratic Candidate in NY Special Election to Replace George Santos

Former U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi has been chosen as the Democratic nominee in the upcoming special election to replace ousted congressman George Santos in New York's 2nd Congressional District. Suozzi, who previously held the seat for six years, is seen as an experienced candidate with name recognition and an existing campaign footprint in the district. The race is expected to draw significant attention as both parties vie for control of the House, and Republicans have yet to announce their candidate. The election also presents an opportunity for Democratic leaders in New York to regain suburban congressional districts lost in the previous elections.

Democratic Candidates Unify in New York Congressional Race as Liz Whitmer Gereghty Drops Out

Liz Whitmer Gereghty, sister of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, has ended her campaign for New York's 17th Congressional District and endorsed former Rep. Mondaire Jones, avoiding a costly primary fight as Democrats aim to win back the suburban seat and secure a House majority. The district is crucial in the battle for control of the House, and Democrats are counting on New York returning to historical voting trends next year. Jones, who previously represented much of the district, will now face Republican Mike Lawler, who won the seat in 2022. Democrats are seeking to implement more favorable congressional borders in New York next year, potentially flipping up to six seats.
