Representative Elise Stefanik has announced she will suspend her campaign for New York governor and will not seek re-election to Congress, citing a desire to focus on her family and young son. Stefanik, who represents upstate New York, gained national attention for her stance against antisemitism and her prominent role in questioning university leaders after the October 2023 attacks in Israel. Her decision comes amid a crowded Republican primary and follows similar moves by other Trump allies in New York politics. Former President Trump praised Stefanik's leadership and expressed support for her future endeavors. Stefanik's departure marks the end of a notable chapter in New York's political landscape, as Democrats maintain a strong presence in the state following recent elections.
