Last night, vulnerable New York freshman Nick LaLota became the first of the Biden-17 Republicans to endorse criminally indicted former President Donald Trump.
In response, DCCC spokesperson Ellie Dougherty released the following statement:
“Nick LaLota’s full-throated endorsement of the leader of the MAGA movement is closing the loop on his dutiful and inevitable alignment with the most far-right members of the Republican Party.
“In Congress, LaLota has prioritized extremism over Suffolk families by backtracking on campaign promises, voting to restrict abortion, and cutting funding for public safety and aid to Israel. LaLota has also failed to advance any meaningful policies – including bringing back the SALT caps that Trump removed – to lower costs for families or make Suffolk County safer.
“Nick LaLota’s Trump endorsement not only cements his standing with MAGA extremists: it sets off a ticking clock until his fellow vulnerable New York Republicans inevitably join him.”
