Hitler-praising Republican Carl Paladino lost his bid for a congressional seat representing New York’s 23rd district Tuesday after being bested by opponent Nick Langworthy — but only by a small margin.
Langworthy, who chairs the New York Republican Party, was a lauded figure in New York Republican politics … until he endorsed Lee Zeldin’s gubernatorial bid while Stefanik debated making a bid for the seat herself. The incident escalated to a, with Langworthy’s camp attempting to block Stefanik from accessing fundraising and voter contact data, and Stefanik jumping to endorse Paladino over Langworthy.

Chris Jacobs announcedafter an announcement that he would support an assault weapons ban tanked his popularity among New York Republicans. Despite Paladino outraising Langworthy throughout the campaign cycle, the leadup to election day was remarkably close, with pollsters predicting a tight contest between the two.
New York’s 23rd district is one of the most conservative in New York, voting for former President Trump in a 54-43 split against President Joe Biden in the 2022 election. With Langworthy’s victory, Congress has avoided the addition of another reactionary lawmaker into their ranks. Langworthy will now face off against Democrat Max Della Pia in the November election. He’s expected to win.
