In 1928, former vice presidential nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated NY AG Albert Ottinger for the governorship of New York by 0.62%. Roosevelt faired poorly (as most Dems did back then) in most of central NY but was saved by NYC and Albany. #ElectionTwitter

NEW: George Santos' staff hand-delivered notes to fellow GOP lawmakers' offices thanking them for quashing @RobertGarcia's expulsion effort last week.
"Now more than ever, the Republican majority needs to stick together," read the letters I obtained.

If they do win this, their state senate caucus wont be able to split an Uber, and they’ll have to invest in a car.

A 5-year-old girl was killed this week walking through a crosswalk in my hometown. It's one I walked through countless times as a kid and there have always been concerns about its safety. Voters had approved a study to improve its safety just last week.

Funny thing is he’s not even eligible to serve in congress for the next five years
Quote Tweet
Enes Kanter Freedom tells Fox he's had conversations with Kevin McCarthy and "my friends in Congress" about running for office.
"I was like, the only place -- please send me somewhere warm."

This is just a rerun of Christie’s 2016 argument and it failed spectacularly
