Stefanik, a Republican congresswoman from upstate New York, responded to criticism by fellow GOP member Blakeman who claimed that Stefanik did not support Republican candidates in New York this year. On X (formerly Twitter), Stefanik defended herself, stating she has raised over $100M and worked hard for Republicans across the country and her state over the past decade. The dispute arose after Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, won the governor's race against Blakeman in a landslide victory on Tuesday, contributing to a national Democratic surge that flipped control of Congress, the Senate, and several formerly red states to Democrats. Stefanik had previously considered running for governor but stepped aside when Blakeman received President Trump’s endorsement.
