From the Department of A Taste Of Your Own Medicine: New York Republicans are simply outraged that Democrats in Albany have introduced a bill to give Governor Kathy Hochul more leeway in scheduling a special election to fill the seat of Elise Stefanik in NY-21.
If it passes and Hochul signs it, "Elsie's" successor — assuming that she's confirmed to be ambassador to the UN — may not be chosen until November, making life even more difficult for Preacher of the House Mike Johnson and his tiny little majority. Not that they have a lot to do, what with Benedict Donald and Team Trump governing by executive order. (That's a sign of weakness, by the way, not of strength.)
Well, we cats say HAHAHAHAHA. This is a big North Country laff because New York Dems are merely borrowing a page from the playbook of Governor Rhonda Santis of the formerly great state of Florida, who's known for taking his own sweet time in scheduling elections. What's more, Democrats have already settled on their candidate, dairy farmer Blake Gendebien (at some point, we'll figure out how to pronounce his last name). At least six Republicans are duking it out amongst themselves, with one threatening to primary the GOP county chairs' chosen candidate if it's not him. What a good sport!
Let them fight. In the meantime, we cats PURR.
(UPDATE: Amid concerns from Governor Kathy Hochul, Albany Democrats have dropped the Stefanik legislation. Bummer. We're never going to get through this if we don't learn to be cutthroat.)
