Ritchie Torres: “House Democrats are strategizing about how to defeat Donald Trump and make Hakeem Jeffries the next Speaker. Donald…”

The May flooding hit Bronx families and small businesses hard, and I'm glad Governor Hochul secured this disaster declaration to get them the help they need.

Now, more than ever, it’s important for every Democrat and every New Yorker to stand with the Governor as she fights with New York and fights against the Trump administration.

She’s not performative, she’s substantive. She’s focused on solving problems, and that’s the kind of leadership we need right now.

Democrats should be careful not to cede the issue of public safety to Donald Trump and Republicans.
