Empire State Today

Hundreds of New Yorkers traveled to Washington, D.C., for Donald Trump's inauguration, with members of the New York State Republican Party expressing enthusiasm about future political victories. Approximately 300 party members gathered at The Mayflower Hotel in the capital on Sunday. The event featured speeches from party leaders and elected officials who spoke positively about Trump's return to the White House.

State GOP Chairman Ed Cox commented on the conclusion of a long Democratic leadership period that included three presidential terms under Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as Nancy Pelosi's tenure as Speaker of the House. "We have to fight, fight, fight, to help the president move his agenda forward," Cox stated during a breakfast held by the state party at The Mayflower.
