Bowman urges Biden to show ‘leadership’ on New York’s immigrant overflow.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman Calls for Leadership from President Biden on Immigration Crisis
During a press conference, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) emphasized the urgent need for President Joe Biden to demonstrate strong leadership as immigrants continue to arrive in New York from the southern border. Bowman highlighted the struggles faced by the state in providing resources to immigrants and called for assistance from the White House.
“I mean, we need leadership from President Biden — period. We need that leadership in New York state because New York state is struggling. We’re struggling to provide housing and all the support that the migrants need,”
Bowman also expressed concern about the potential impact of the immigration crisis on the upcoming House elections in New York. He stressed the importance of Democrats performing well in the state, as they need to secure at least four congressional seats to regain control of the House.
“Here’s the thing — Democrats are looking bad right now in New York state and that’s unacceptable when we have to win at least four congressional seats to take back the House, so hopefully the president is listening,”
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has identified six Republican members of the House from New York as targets in the 2024 elections. These include Reps. Nick LaLota (R-NY), George Santos (R-NY), Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Marc Molinaro (R-NY), and Brandon Williams (R-NY). The GOP’s strong performance in House races in New York in 2022 played a significant role in the party’s successful bid to regain control of the lower chamber of Congress, despite underperforming in other key races across the country.
