Mondaire Jones Out!

Goodbye.

Another freshman lawmaker does not pass the class. 

It appears that Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY) falls to moderate Democrat in a competitive race for a newly redrawn district. He listened to Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney's (D-NY) bitch ass. Maloney who ended up winning his seat promised Jones a top position if he would move to the newly redrawn 10th district. Maloney left his district because it was more competitive for Republicans.

Jones who was one of 15 candidates running lost to Dan Goldman, an impeachment lawyer in the first impeachment trial of Washed Up 45. 

Goldman, a heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. defeated Jones and New York progressive assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou and disgraced New York mayor Bill de de Blasio.

Maloney easily beat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) backed candidate New York state senator Alessandra Biaggi. 

Jones was one of two Black New York lawmakers who are openly gay. 

Although he was progressive, he was not closely associated Ocasio-Cortez or Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), two of 90 members who lack any legislative accomplishments. He was never a member of the Squad but supported the Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) agenda.

Dan Goldman beats Mondaire Jones.

Goldman, poured millions of dollars into his election bid, and he had received a coveted endorsement from The New York Times editorial board. Some candidates sought to portray the former federal prosecutor as attempting to “purchase” his seat and not being liberal enough for their party.

“He’s not [a] traditional politician. He hasn’t held elected office before, and it’s something that we’ve had to grow accustomed to, but it’s you know, it’s par for the course. And Dan, through all of it, is very much committed to keeping things positive … and, you know, let everybody else scrap it out and do whatever they want,” Goldman’s campaign told The Hill in an interview last week.

Rep. Jerry Nalder (D-NY) defeated embattled Rep. Carolyn Maloney in a bitter race which pitted the two longtime members against one another.

Ocasio-Cortez won her seat without a primary challenger. 

The seat that Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado vacated was one of the closely watched races. The Democrats kept the seat. Republicans spent a lot of money to flip that seat. Now, Rep-Elect Pat Ryan will serve the remaining term and is expected to face a Republican challenger in the general.

His losing opponent Republican Karen Molinaro will run in a seperate district as the nominee. The district leans Democratic and it is possible Republicans can flip it.
