Hakeem Jeffries Slams Elise Stefanik as Handmaiden' for Trump After She Announces NY Governor Bid
"REP. HAKEEM JEFFRIES: You know, Elise Stefanik is nothing more than a handmaiden for Donald Trump's extreme policies. She's a sycophant who has been a repeated rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda that is doing nothing but hurting the people of New York and everyday Americans across the country. If Elise Stefanik really wants to do something about the high cost of living, she should tell her boss, Donald Trump, to end these reckless tariffs, which are increasing costs by thousands of dollars per year on New York families and on families across America."
"Stefanik announced her campaign for governor in a social media post that began with the declaration that current governor, Kathy Hochul (D), is the Worst Governor in America. Kathy Hochul is the Worst Governor in America. Under her failed leadership, New York is the most unaffordable state in the nation with the highest taxes, highest energy, utilities, rent, and grocery bills.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries strongly criticized Rep. Elise Stefanik, labeling her a handmaiden and sycophant to Donald Trump's policies and a repeated rubber stamp for his agenda. Jeffries argued that Trump's tariffs are raising costs for New York families and Americans nationwide, and urged Stefanik to pressure Trump to end those tariffs. Elise Stefanik launched a bid for New York governor, declaring Governor Kathy Hochul the "Worst Governor in America" and citing high taxes, energy bills, rent, and grocery costs. Governor Hochul faces a primary challenge from Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, and a poll showed Stefanik leading Hochul by one point.
