Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) accused New York of attempting “political corruption” by delaying a special election to replace Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).

Republican lawmakers have a slim majority in the House, with 218 versus 215 Democratic lawmakers. President Donald Trump has poached Stefanik to serve as ambassador to the United Nations. He also tapped former Rep. Mike Waltz to be his national security adviser, which has made the majority even slimmer.
