It has now been 13 weeks since the 2020 general election, and in New York’s 22nd Congressional District a winner has still yet to be declared. If you’re having trouble believing this – trust me, as the Republican currently leading by 122 votes – I am too.
While my lead has only grown since November, my Democrat opponent – and the high-profile lawyers which Nancy Pelosi sent to do battle against me – refuse to concede.
Why? Because if I’m certified the winner of this race, Republicans will only need to pick up 6 seats next year to flip the House of Representatives.
Our legal fight has come at great cost, and it’s about to get a lot more expensive. Yesterday, the judge overseeing the recount granted my Dem opponent’s request for another week’s delay in certifying the results – which as it stands today would result in my victory.
