Marc Molinaro Falls in Line Behind Trump and Votes for Extreme Conspiracy Theorist Jim Jordan for Speaker

Vulnerable and spineless New York Republican Marc Molinaro 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.

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

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

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

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