Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who ran unsuccessfully for New York governor as a Republican, criticized fellow Republican Elise Stefanik on X (formerly Twitter), calling her "selfish" and accusing her of not helping Republican candidates in the state during elections. Blakeman lost his gubernatorial bid to incumbent Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul. Stefanik had previously announced she would run for governor but later withdrew, also opting out of seeking an eighth term in Congress. The criticism came after Tuesday's election where only five Republicans won House seats in New York; one race is still uncalled and was for Stefanik's replacement. In response to Blakeman’s comments, Stefanik defended herself by saying she understands the pain of losing but maintained that processing such losses takes time.
