Rep. Elise Stefanik’s confirmation vote as U.N. Ambassador is set for April 2, potentially leading to her resignation from Congress and triggering a special election for New York’s 21st district. The Democratic Party has already chosen Blake Gendebien as their candidate, while Republicans are still narrowing down their options. Governor Kathy Hochul will have 10 days to call for the election once Stefanik resigns, and the election must be held within 70-80 days. Stefanik’s confirmation is expected to pass with limited opposition, though her views on Israel have sparked some debate among Democrats. The special election will leave NY-21 without representation for a few months, as both parties prepare for a competitive race.
