COOK POLITICAL: “.. Stefanik’s withdrawal .. reflects an increasingly obvious reality: Republicans are not in a position to flip the state next year.
“.. The race shifts from Likely D to Solid D.”

. @charlotteclymer.bsky.social , recall this editorial headline from Elise Stefanik's district newspaper on Nov. 10, 2019.
The writing was on the wall, especially considering that loyalty with Trump is always a one-way street.

Grateful that Elise Stefanik has had the 2025 that she deserves.
She began the year ready to become UN Ambassador.
She will end it as a lame duck congresswoman w/ a failed gubernatorial bid, now eager to leave.
May her 2026 be just as disappointing. 🙏 #NYGov #NY21

Elise Stefanik dropping out of #NYGov and leaving Congress, per @benjacobs.bsky.social nymag.com/intelligence...
My chances of voting to re-nominate Kathy Hochul in the #NYGov primary just went up sharply 📈
First, Trump gives a big sloppy kiss to Elise Stefanik's boogeyman, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social .
Then, Trump gives Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman a big, warm a bear hug.
Trump can only politically kneecap #EliseStefanik so many times before she's out of knees.

ICED OUT: Ahmad Perez and his left-leaning organization Islip Forward last month planned to hold an event on Long Island with Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado. Then a call came from Hochul’s office. What happened next is a matter of dispute. Perez told Playbook he was warned by Hochul’s Suffolk County regional representative, Thalia Olaya, to not hold the event with the administration’s estranged No. 2 — or face the consequence of being frozen out of the governor’s office. Hochul’s office maintains Perez was simply told by Olaya that Delgado, now the governor’s Democratic primary opponent, does not speak for the administration. Either way, the phone call underscores the concern Hochul’s team has for Delgado and his long-shot bid to topple the governor. A Siena University poll last month found Hochul with a massive 40-point lead over Delgado. Perez spoke with Olaya on Nov. 16 — after Delgado’s planned appearance at the Dec. 6 event to oppose the federal government’s aggressive immigration enforcement policies was announced.
Perez said that in that call Olaya told him that Delgado, whose family is from Cape Verde, misrepresented himself as Latino. She also offered a meeting with the governor if the organization dropped Delgado and suggested that not doing so would result in consequences, according to Perez. “We would essentially be iced out of any future engagement work or activities with the executive chamber,” he said of the alleged threat. “We would no longer have a voice at the table. We were literally being barred.” Perez’s group plans to formally endorse Delgado next year. The lieutenant governor attended the event, held this weekend, as planned. “As many New Yorkers may be unfamiliar with the role of the Lieutenant Governor, a call was made to the organization to clarify that he does not speak for, or represent the Executive Chamber,” Hochul’s office said in a statement. “The organization appears to be mischaracterizing elements of that call to fit their preferred narrative.” Hochul’s team, though, has taken steps to minimize Delgado after his very public break with the governor this year. A former House member from a purplish district between Albany and New York City, Delgado has tried to draft off the excitement of Mamdani’s Big Apple success — banking that an anti-establishment mood among voters will be scaled up to the gubernatorial campaign. — Nick Reisman
I don't mind the sharp elbows and hardball tactics in a primary.
That's politics!
But if someone from Kathy Hochul's staff truly implied that Antonio Delgado is not really of Hispanic decent, that's pretty low.

Via Politico's NY Playbook report:
STEFANIK, on Mike Johnson:
“.. He certainly wouldn’t have the votes to be speaker if there was a roll-call vote tomorrow. .. the majority of Republicans would vote for new leadership. It’s that widespread.”

Elise Stefanik just went nuclear in her attack on Mike Johnson, challenging his leadership.
“He certainly wouldn’t have the votes to be speaker if there was a roll-call vote tomorrow."
Is she preparing to stage a coup amidst her run for #NYGov?
