In 2020, Nita Lowey is going to announce that she is stepping down to make way for Chelsea to run for that Congressional seat. She just doesn't know it yet.
Agreed.
Lowey's 17th NY district is solidly D and a shoe in for any D candidate to win.
She was shown the shiitehouse door when, after decades of service, was passed over for The Carpetbagger to ease into Moynihan's Senate seat.
Lowey will roll over, figuratively OR literally as needed, and make way for the next Next Coming.
Maloney in the 18th wouldn't go along with it, he has his own phony dynasty to build.
