Stefanik is widely expected to enter the New York gubernatorial race but has not yet formally launched a campaign. In response to the Manhattan Institute poll, her congressional campaign issued the following statement:<\/p>\n

In a heavily Democrat leaning state, an independent poll that is heavily weighted towards registered Democrat voters shows Republican Elise Stefanik leading Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul in a head to head match up.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

This marks the first time in decades that any potential Republican gubernatorial candidate (and in this case, the likely nominee) is polling ahead of a Democrat incumbent Governor, even before any official announcement.<\/p>\n

In a decision that she will come to regret, Kathy Hochul lives up to her title as the Worst Governor in America when she chose to bend the knee and put New Yorkers LAST by desperately endorsing the Defund the Police, tax hiking, raging Antisemite Socialist Zohran Mamdani who will destroy New York.<\/p>\n

Kathy Hochul and single party Democrat rule have failed New York making it the most unaffordable state in the country with the highest taxes, energy, utility, rent, and grocery bills making it unaffordable to raise a family, work, and start a business.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers of all political parties are hungry for new commonsense leadership after decades of Hochul\u2019s failed single party Democrat rule.<\/p>\n

Elise Stefanik and the people of New York can and will win this righteous fight to Save New York.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

This is happening in the age of MAGA, the age of Donald Trump \u2013 and the full-on left-wing meltdown shift currently being embraced by the \u2018rising stars\u2019 of the worst political party in the history of our country: Democrats.<\/p>\n

Texas politics has just been hit with a<\/p>\n

Under the newly approved maps, Texas Republicans have pulled off a stunning power play:\u00a0five new GOP-friendly seats are created, five Democratic seats are erased, and one of those casualties is Jasmine Crockett\u2019s own district.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

All that now stands between this seismic change and reality is the\u00a0signature of Governor Greg Abbott.<\/strong>\u00a0And if history is any guide, Abbott has shown zero hesitation in siding with his party\u2019s redistricting agenda. Insiders say it\u2019s not a matter of<\/p>\n

This is more than just the loss of a single congressional seat. It\u2019s a\u00a0symbolic takedown<\/strong>\u00a0of one of the Democrats\u2019 loudest new voices. For Republicans, it\u2019s a calculated victory\u2014cementing their dominance in Texas for another decade and silencing a lawmaker they see as a rising progressive star. For Democrats, it\u2019s nothing short of devastating, sparking accusations of<\/p>\n

Crockett herself has blasted the plan as \u201can attack on democracy,\u201d vowing to fight back, but the clock is ticking. If Abbott puts his pen to paper,<\/p>\n

The stakes couldn\u2019t be higher. The fight in Texas isn\u2019t just about one seat, one district, or one lawmaker\u2014it\u2019s about the<\/p>\n

So the question remains: Will Greg Abbott deliver the final blow? Or will Democrats find a last-minute way to stop the map from becoming law?<\/p>\n

One thing is certain:\u00a0Texas politics just went nuclear.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Judge Issues Warning as Trump Assassination Suspect Prepares to Represent Himself.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/strong>Ryan Wesley Routh, the Florida man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump, will represent himself in his upcoming federal trial in Fort Pierce, Florida. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted his request in July, though court-appointed attorneys will remain as standby counsel to assist if necessary. Cannon underscored the need for heightened courtroom security, cautioning Routh that any sudden or threatening movements would prompt immediate action from marshals.<\/p>\n

Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday and is expected to last three days. Three panels of 60 potential jurors will be questioned to seat 12 jurors and four alternates. Opening statements are set for September 11, with the trial projected to last up to four weeks, though it could conclude sooner depending on proceedings.<\/p>\n

The charges arise from a September 15, 2024 incident at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Prosecutors allege that Routh planned to shoot Trump, reportedly hiding with a rifle in nearby shrubbery before being confronted by a Secret Service agent. An exchange of gunfire ensued, after which Routh fled and was later apprehended. He faces multiple federal charges, including attempted assassination and firearms violations, as well as state charges of terrorism and attempted murder.<\/p>\n

Originally from North Carolina, Routh has a documented history of erratic behavior and prior legal troubles. In 2002, he was arrested for possessing an explosive device labeled a \u201cweapon of mass destruction\u201d and has previously attempted to recruit foreign fighters for overseas conflicts. Despite these incidents, he avoided prison time in earlier cases.<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to the trial, Routh has filed a series of unusual motions. Among them, he offered to accept new evidence if permitted to subpoena Trump, whom he insulted in inflammatory language, and even proposed a golf match with the former president to determine his own fate.<\/p>\n

Judge Cannon has yet to rule on Routh\u2019s unconventional requests but has affirmed that he may proceed as his own attorney under strict supervision. Standby counsel will be present throughout the trial to provide guidance if needed.<\/p>\n

The case is expected to draw intense national attention, given both the nature of the alleged crime and the unprecedented decision of the defendant to represent himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
