Following the GOP’s defeat in a carefully watched special congressional election in the New York City suburbs on Tuesday night, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley now has additional tools to use against the clear front-runner, former President Trump.
“Let’s just pronounce the silent portion aloud. Olvia Perez-Cubas, national spokesperson for the Haley campaign, contended in a statement that Donald Trump “continues to be a huge weight against Republican candidates.” “Despite the enormous and obvious failings of Joe Biden, we just lost another winnable Republican House seat because voters overwhelmingly reject Donald Trump.”
Perez-Cuba’s asserted, “We will keep losing until Republicans wake up. It’s time for a new conservative leadership generation that doesn’t alienate Americans.”

Haley has long made the case in her stump speech on the campaign trail that Republicans are fed up with losing to Trump, citing GOP losses in the elections of 2018, 2020, and 2022. She was a two-term governor of South Carolina before becoming the ambassador to the United Nations in the Trump administration, and it is there that she has been campaigning.
To replace former Republican Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House in December, a vacant House seat was filled by former Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi, who defeated GOP county member Mazi Pilip in a special election.
