The terminal's telling us we've got 16 inches potentially coming to Manhattan with a newly minted mayor and a big test when it comes to handling the storm in the biggest city in the world. Congresswoman Nicole Maliotakis knows all about it. The Republican from New York joins us right now to talk about this, the future of her district and politics here in Washington. Congresswoman, it's great to have you back. Is New York ready for this?
I hope so. And I believe we will be. New York's the type of city that in many ways can run on autopilot. But I do believe that you have enough individuals, particularly the rank and file men and women who go out there every day to keep our city safe and clean. They're going to be the ones really running the show on the ground. And I have full faith that they'll be able to do it.
I saw the briefing earlier from Mayor Mamdani. He says school days are canceled. This could be fraught politically, Congresswoman. But I'm just wondering if you buy into this media narrative that this is the big test, that this is do or die for New York's new mayor.
look i think that nothing upsets people more than if they come out of their house in their streets are not plowed properly we saw this before with uh... definitely de blasio a lot of people are very upset about the way they've mishandled snowstorm so i think that you know there's no republican or democrat way to take out the garbage they say and i and i believe that uh... the same same thing when it comes to shovel in the snow so i'm plowing the snow so i think I think it is a test. He'll definitely get the heat if it's not cleaned properly, and he certainly probably won't get the credit if it is done well. It'll go to the men and women on the ground. It's like a no-win situation for politicians.
Well, that's even-handed analysis. I guess whether you're Zoran Mamdani or Greg Abbott, this is a very real test as a lot of people are hunkering down here. I've got to ask you, Congresswoman, what it's like to wake up in the morning and hear from a judge that your workplace should no longer exist. I'm referring to the ruling that we discussed on Bloomberg, and I know that you have some, I'm sure, pretty strong thoughts about this. This is your first national interview since a judge ruled that your district should be redrawn. You're no stranger to redistricting in New York, and I'm wondering what will be your recourse?
that we we fought this battle in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four successfully here we are again third time running for reelection into third time we're having a fight over the district map and this is because the democrats simply can't beat me on merit on policy on debate in twenty twenty the seat was represented by a democrat in the people of staten island southern brooklyn fired that individual because he was doing a bad job they hired me a republican i am the only republican represents a city in washington but the bottom line here is that it was the people's choice now you have a washington law firm who's basically saying we don't care what the people of staten island say how they vote we want to be able to fix this map
