FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 24, 2025
SARATOGA, N.Y. – House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement:
“Like the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul, Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries finally bent the knee and endorsed the jihadist communist Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor. Not only does this endorsement pave the way for dangerous tax hiking that will destroy the city, Jeffries also now owns EVERYTHING Mamdani stands for and he can kiss any hope of a Democrat House Majority goodbye!
From wanting to arrest Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to defunding the police, abolishing private property, cancelling private health insurance, and blocking ICE agents from doing their jobs, Jeffries is in lockstep with Commie Mamdani and Comrade Hochul.
This is an AWFUL decision for Jeffries and it shines a massive light on just how bad his judgement is. New Yorkers will reject this reckless embrace of criminals, communists, and jihadist antisemitic policies on Election Day in two weeks, and beyond.”
