- On Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson campaigned in Orangeburg for Republican Rep. Mike Lawler as both parties intensified efforts in New York's 17th Congressional District, a race polls show within the margin of error.
- As Lawler seeks a third term against Democratic nominee Cait Conley, both parties expect to spend about $60 million on the race, reflecting its competitive nature.

- Conley campaigned in Suffern on Tuesday with health care workers, contrasting her military service: "Sixteen years on active duty, six tours overseas. Mike Lawler, for the same period of time was a political operative, political consultant, oil and gas utility lobbyist and politician."
- House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries campaigned with the Army veteran over the weekend, underscoring national interest in the district as both parties vie for control of the House.
