Brandon Williams Falls in Line Behind Trump and Votes for Extreme Conspiracy Theorist Jim Jordan for Speaker

Vulnerable and spineless New York Republican Brandon Williams joined criminally-indicted George Santos in voting today for MAGA extremist Jim Jordan for speaker in the chaotic, ongoing GOP leadership fight. This follows Donald Trump’s endorsement of Jordan earlier this month.

MAGA Williams had every opportunity to embrace a bipartisan governing coalition, but chose to enable his extreme colleagues instead.

Jim Jordan has hurt Central New York families, including voting against funding for 9/11 victims twice. 

Now, thanks to Williams, Speaker candidate Jim Jordan has the greenlight to continue to push his extreme, dangerous agenda on Central New Yorkers that:

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“By voting for Jim Jordan, vulnerable New York Republican Brandon Williams has propped up a speaker candidate whose record has directly hurt Central New Yorkers. This vote is proof that Williams embraces the far-right wing of his party that promotes conspiracy theories, takes away women’s reproductive freedom, and defunds law enforcement. Central New Yorkers will resoundingly reject Williams’ MAGA extremism next year in favor of Democrats’ focus on expanding the middle class and protecting our freedoms.”
