They each represent districts that Democrats will be targeting next year as the parties vie for House control, and the lawmakers’ 2022 victories were key to securing the GOP’s narrow majority.
Rep. Mike Lawler is seen on the House floor ahead of a vote to elect a Speaker of the House at the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 17, 2023. Lawler voted for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over Jim Jordan.
The New York City suburbs will be pivotal for both parties next year. But as Republicans remain deadlocked over leadership on Capitol Hill, their resistance to Jordan was intended to reassure voters they will stand up to firebrand conservatives. Spokespeople for D’Esposito, Garbarino and LaLota referred questions about their decision to their statements. Lawler didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Santos, persona non grata in the Long Island GOP conference amid his legal woes, voted Tuesday for Jordan.
