Stefanik Suspends Campaign for New York Governor

Rep. Elise Stefanik announced Friday that she is suspending her campaign for New York governor and will not seek reelection to Congress.

Here we go. Elise Stefanik changed everything she was, everything she believed in, for power. And in the end, Trump endorsed another dude and Elise is out. Shameful

Of course, she plays the "spend more time with family" card.

She knows she's on a sinking ship and has been way to compliant with all of it. I expect her to try and scrub her image in the coming months following the New Year.

Dummkopf Trumpf threw this gorgon under the bus many times this year and she had enough.

NYC voters would have torpedoed Elise Stefanik in the gubernatorial race if she survived her primary against good-for-nothing Bruce Blakeman.

The unpopular Stefanik, booed by her own constituents, didn't want to be a three-time loser like Andrew "Judas Iscariot" Cuomo.

The Zohran Mamdani factor is a having a domino effect in the Empire State.

**** Zohran Mamdani Factor Causing ZDS in White-Majority Staten Island ***

"A robust collective of Republican lawmakers in Staten Island is discussing seceding from NYC in response to Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's decisive win on 4 Nov.

'It's only going to get louder,' Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella blustered, noting that a majority of residents in the Republican-leaning white-majority borough didn't vote for the popular Mamdani, a secular Muslim supported by two POTUS: Dummkopf Trumpf and Barack Obama.

And New Yorkers know the good-for-nothing hypocritical racist bleating the loudest about secession quite well:

"A former seven-term member of the US House, family values advocate Vito Fossella resigned in disgrace in 2008 after a DUI crash exposed him as an adulterer and the father of secret "love child" in Virginia.

On the night of his arrest, Fossella attended a White House reception, then continued partying at a DC pub where he got so drunk he was asked to leave. Fossella told arresting officers that he was on his way to visit his sick three year-old daughter in Virginia, which no doubt came as a huge surprise to his wife and three children back in Staten Island."

Staten Island is geographically closer to New Jersey than NYC. Historically, when some Brooklynites improved their lot, they would move to white majority, high property tax Staten Island. A Republican stronghold, most New Yorkers would be happy to let the "Forgotten Borough" secede.

Political hack Vito Fossella secured himself wonderful federal and NYC pensions as a good-for-no-one male skank in his super-safe white congressional district and borough.

Update ...

President Trump backs Blakeman for New York Governor after Stefanik drops out
www.nbcnewyork.com

... President Donald Trump on Saturday endorsed Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman in the race for New York Governor, barely 24 hours after another favorite of the President, North Country Rep. Elise Stefanik ended her bid.

"Bruce Blakeman is a FANTASTIC guy, will win the big November Election and, without hesitation, has my Complete and Total Endorsement," Trump wrote on social media. "Bruce is MAGA all the way, and has been with me from the very beginning," he posted.

The president's announcement comes less than two weeks after Blakeman launched his bid to unseat Democratic incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul. Trump had refused to take sides against either Blakeman or Stefanik, both seen as enthusiastic loyalists. "He's great, and she's great. They're both great people," the president told reporters on Dec. 9, the day Blakeman formally began his quest. ...

Watching the carefully arrived at calculations of a political calculator who gave it all for Trump completely fall apart really does warm up those chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
