MAGA Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who was running for governor of New York, has suddenly not just quit the governor's race, she has quit politics entirely. She's also resigning as a member of Congress, and she will no longer be involved in politics at all. Everything Donald Trump touches dies. She was once viewed as a rising star within the Republican Party. She worked for George W. Bush in the 2000s. She went to Harvard. She was then a protege of Paul Ryan. and Mitt Romney. When Donald Trump came into office during the first regime, she started more closely being an ally of him. She went all in on Donald Trump and MAGA. She was an election denier when Donald Trump lost in 2020. She started calling the January 6th insurrectionists hostages, and she went from being a moderate who was elected in New York's
Upstate area to now being a MAGA radical who turned her entire New York constituency against her. She became a loathe political figure and she was even. for all of her loyalty, utterly disrespected by Donald Trump and MAGA Mike, because that is what they do in the MAGA movement. They chew you up and they spit you out. You'll recall that she was appointed by Donald Trump to be the United States ambassador to the United Nations. And then she was pulled from that role. and then you had the guy who was involved in signalgate replace her and get rewarded for leaking classified information on signal elise stefanik then pivoted back to congress where she then said that she would be running for governor of new york against kathy hochul all the polls had elise stefanik getting absolutely destroyed i mean new yorkers
hate Elise Stefanik right now. One of the things that Stefanik was trying to run on is Kathy Hochul endorsed Mamdani, and she would say Mamdani is this radical and extremist and anti-Semitic and all of that, just this defamation against Mamdani. And then Donald Trump was asked in the Oval Office when he was standing next to Mom Donnie, you know, do you think this guy is bad for New York? Or do you think... And he'd go, Elise Stefanik has said all of these things about him. What do you make of that? And Trump's like, yeah, I don't think Elise Stefanik's right about this guy. And so at every step of the way, for all of her loyalty and for all of her just... totally throwing out any of like what she claimed her principles to be in college.
And during the early days when she was a young leader in the conservative movement, when that used to exist, her career is trash. Her career is destroyed. She is done with politics. She is out. And I'll read for you her statement right now. And then I'll read Governor Hochul's statement because Stefanik was going to be running against Hochul for the governorship of New York. Here's what Stefanik said. While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I've made the decision to suspend my campaign for governor and will not seek reelection to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family. I'm truly humbled and grateful for the historic, overwhelming support from Republicans, conservatives, independents, and Democrats all across the state for our campaign to save New York.
That's not really what the polls were showing. The latest Siena Research poll had you down by 20 points to Governor Hochul. But go on, go on. She goes on to say... Thank you to my dedicated staff.
