JD Vance says "Why can't we celebrate America's victories for a change?" at NY district rally
“Why can't we celebrate America's victories for a change?”
Reported November 2, 2026 by dailygazette.com. Checked word for word against that report.
On the eve of the election in New York’s 21st Congressional District, Vice President JD Vance rallied in Rome with Republican candidate Anthony Constantino and Donald Trump Jr., as Republicans seek to protect a narrow House majority. Vance criticized Democrat Blake Gendebien, citing a 2013 interview in which Gendebien said he had employed undocumented workers and discussed difficulties finding local workers; Gendebien has said his farm complies with federal rules for its current employees. The event was aimed at boosting Constantino, a self-funded businessman endorsed by Trump, in the race to succeed Elise Stefanik. During Vance’s speech, security removed two protesters, and he then asked why the nation does not recognize its achievements.
