New York state lawmakers are considering a proposal that could delay a special election to replace Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), temporarily shrinking the GOP’s slim House majority. Democrats in the state legislature are exploring changes to election law that would allow Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) to postpone the special election and align it with the June primaries or even the November general election. This delay could leave Stefanik’s seat vacant for months, making it more difficult for Republicans to pass legislation in their narrow majority. Stefanik, nominated by President Trump as U.S. Ambassador to the UN, could be confirmed soon. The delay, which could leave the seat vacant until at least June, would give Democrats significant leverage in key votes. Critics, including Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY), argue that this is a power play by Democrats to undermine GOP influence.
