Liz Whitmer Gereghty Withdraws from New York House Race
TL;DR
Democratic candidate Liz Whitmer Gereghty has dropped her campaign for a House seat in the New York City suburbs and endorsed former Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones. Whitmer Gereghty's decision to step aside is part of a trend among Democratic candidates in New York to avoid costly primary bids for battleground seats. Jones, who has received significant campaign contributions and endorsements, aims to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Lawler. Democrats hope to recapture control of the House next year, with several competitive seats in New York.
