The RNC Is All-In on New York, Banking That Voters Will Choose 'Normal' Over 'Crazy' in Midterms
Jennifer Oliver O'Connell
RNC (Republican National Committee) Chairman Joe Gruters was making the media rounds after Tuesday's New York primary, pointing out that Republicans are not only on offense for the midterms, but have a good chance to hold and flip even more seats in the Empire State — especially after the Mamdani/Democrat Socialist takeover on Tuesday night.
Gruters dubbed the New York Democrat socialist slate accurately: "leftwing wackadoos who only a mother could love." But that doesn't mean he is taking any chances on New York. The RNC has a war chest of $123.8 million cash on hand, which means they have money to play with. Like epically trolling House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), as my colleague Nick Arama detailed.
I think it's fair to say the Democrats are imploding. They embraced more of the radical left, and now it's come back to bite them big time.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) sent Jeffries flowers and a condolence card.
NRCC statement to @FoxNews:
"Three losses in one night is tough. We wanted so-called 'Leader' Jeffries to know our thoughts are with him, his candidates, and whatever remains of his influence in the Democrat Party." – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
In a Wednesday Newsmax appearance, Gruters made it clear that there are no middle of the road Democrats any longer and New Yorkers, and Americans, will have a choice this November between crazy or normal. The rest of that war chest is going to be spent on brightening that line, and lots of it will be poured into New York state campaigns.
