Story summary

Stefanik, a Republican congresswoman from upstate New York, responded to criticism by fellow GOP member Blakeman who claimed that Stefanik did not support Republican candidates in New York this year. On X (formerly Twitter), Stefanik defended herself, stating she has raised over $100M and worked hard for Republicans across the country and her state over the past decade. The dispute arose after Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, won the governor's race against Blakeman in a landslide victory on Tuesday, contributing to a national Democratic surge that flipped control of Congress, the Senate, and several formerly red states to Democrats. Stefanik had previously considered running for governor but stepped aside when Blakeman received President Trump’s endorsement.

🔮 “I know feelings are raw in the aftermath of Tuesday’s result so I will cut some slack because while I don’t know from experience, as I have never lost any of my seven elections, I know that this is a tough loss in NY and I imagine it takes time to process,” the upstate New York congresswoman wrote on X. She went on to set the record straight on her involvement in the party after fellow GOP member Blakeman said she “didn’t lift a finger to help Republican candidates in New York this year.”

🔮 After his stroke last year, some thought he would begin to take a step back from his duties — but instead, he kept pushing forward for the children that serve as his inspiration.
