“I am proud to endorse Joe Pinion for the U.S. Senate in my home state of New York,” Rep. Stefanik said in an exclusive statement offered to Fox News Digital. “For 24 years, Chuck Schumer has been on the wrong side of practically every major issue plaguing New Yorkers and Americans alike.”
Pinion, an entrepreneur and a former TV anchor on Newsmax, gained the support of New York Republicans last week at the state party convention. That move made Pinion the first Black candidate nominated by either major party for the U.S. Senate in New York, Stefanik pointed out.
