D.C. is a New York town: The president, next speaker and Senate majority leader grew up within 11 miles of each other—what it means for the Big Apple
Gov. Kathy Hochul already wants ‘a few more billions’ for New York, starting with a tunnel Trump says Schumer spent 20 years chasing.
On the eve of the midterm election, Gov. Kathy Hochul expressed her ambitions for New York to utilize the state's newfound political influence. During a rally in Williamsburg, she mentioned her intention to request additional funds from House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. However, just 24 hours later, Democrats secured control of both chambers of Congress, and if Jeffries and Schumer successfully win their leadership votes in January, two New Yorkers will be in charge of both chambers of Congress alongside a Queens-born president.
This marks the first time in U.S. history that sons of New York are poised to lead both chambers of Congress and the White House.
