U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries are making appearances in several of New York’s competitive districts as the campaign season enters its final days. Johnson will be campaigning with Republican candidates in the 17th, 18th, and 19th Congressional Districts, as well as in the 22nd District alongside Rep. Brandon Williams. Meanwhile, Jeffries will be rallying with Democratic candidates, including Josh Riley in the 19th District race. These districts were close in the 2022 election and are expected to be competitive again this cycle, with both major parties heavily investing in them.
The campaign events are crucial as New York could be decisive in determining which party controls the House. Early voting is already underway, and Election Day is quickly approaching on Nov. 5. Johnson and Jeffries are both making efforts to rally support for their respective party candidates and encourage voters to make their voices heard.
Former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is the GOP nominee for governor in 2022, will also be in attendance at these events, showing support for the party and the candidates. The races in these districts are likely to be closely watched as the final days of the campaign season unfold. Johnson and Jeffries are both expected to play key roles in helping to energize their party’s base and secure crucial victories in these important congressional races.
