Another DemocRAT rat jumping the sinking ship -- NEW YORK — New York Rep. Nydia Velázquez - a trailblazer known by the nickname “La Luchadora” or the fighter - announced Thursday that she will retire next year after more than three decades in Congress. Velázquez, 72, is the second long-serving New York Democrat to say she’ll step aside after Rep. Jerry Nadler, 78, announced in September that he’d exit at the end of his current term. -- https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/nov/20/new-york-democratic-rep-nydia-velazquez-says-wont-run-reelection-2026/
