New York Democrats hatch plot to cripple Trump's support in the House: report

Raw Story  

Donald Trump's decision to choose Rep. Elise Stefanik to be his ambassador to the United Nations may have doomed multiple initiatives pushed by his administration in the closely divided U.S. House of Representatives.

New York Senate Minority Leader Robert Ort complained, "These shameless Albany politicians can’t win on their disastrous policies like sky-high crime, out-of-control taxes, or an illegal migrant crisis they created, so they’re resorting to using Albany swamp tactics. “The voters deserve to have a voice in Congress as soon as possible, any delay is a pure power grab by Kathy Hochul and Hakeem Jeffries to silence working families across Upstate New York," he stated.
