“Chameleon Chris” Jacobs Gives In, Agrees to April Debate

HAMBURG, N.Y. – Nate McMurray will debate Chris Jacobs in one debate hosted by WVIB on April 7th. At the beginning of the month, McMurray challenged Jacobs to eight debates before the Special Election on April 28th, one in each of the counties that make up New York’s 27th Congressional District. Jacobs, who was born into wealth and has been recently criticized by his own party for his flip-flopping positions, finally gave in and agreed to the debates after more public pressure. McMurray hosted a well-attended Town Hall Friday night in Canandaigua due to Jacobs’ refusal to face McMurray in a debate there.

McMurray issued the following statement:

“I’m glad Chris realized that he can’t hide behind money forever, and I’m excited to debate him face to face because we’ve got a lot to talk about. Trump and the Washington Republicans are cutting Social Security and Medicare, farmers are still hurting from the tariffs, and the rule of law is under attack at the Department of Justice. Jacobs doesn’t have the independence to take a stand on these issues, so he’s going to have to answer for why he’s ready to hurt working families here and across the country. One debate isn’t enough, so I’m going to keep holding events in every county of this district and if Chris has the backbone, he can show up. I know the Buffalo News, WBEN, WNED, and others have also asked for debates. The people of NY-27 deserve an independent voice in Congress, not a chameleon who changes his allegiances as it suits him and is out of touch with the needs of the working people of our district.”

‘Take a drug test:’ GOP lawmaker attacks Jeffries over filibuster performance



Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) took aim at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Thursday over what he called Jeffries’ “low-T” filibuster on President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

“Dollar Store Obama has been hysterically rambling for over three and a half hours, whining about tax cuts for working Americans, bonuses for our brave law enforcement, and mass deportations of illegals,” Ogles said Thursday in a social media post on X.

“He’s still droning on like a broken record… Hakeem needs to get off the House floor, take a drug test, and start putting America first – not last.”

Jeffries has been taking advantage of a loophole in House floor rules that allows party leaders to speak for as long as they want during debate, sometimes referred to as the “magic minute.” The OBBBA, Trump’s budget reconciliation package, advanced in the House early Thursday after a number of Republican holdouts were persuaded to vote in favor of moving the bill forward for a final vote.

Now, as it’s become clear Republicans likely have the votes to pass the bill outright, Jeffries appears to be holding off the final vote for as long as he can, and much to the ire of Republicans like Ogles.

“Not sure if his batteries are running low or if he's just low-T, but someone needs to hand Discount Dollar Store Obama some caffeine ASAP,” Ogles said.

With Republicans’ slim majority in the House, the party can afford no more than three dissenting votes on the OBBBA for it to pass. Amid his filibuster, Jefferies has repeatedly called for “only four Republicans” to dissent and join Democrats in stopping the bill from passing.
