Congressman representing New York’s 16th Congressional District has joined with his colleagues to fight the actions underway by the Trump Administration that are designed to fundamentally change the U.S. government and consolidate power in President Trump. “As a new member of the House and as the minority some of the levers that might be available aren’t available to us,” Latimer told the Business Journal. “I think the Republican Party has strayed a lot from the Reagan days,” Latimer said. I think this is a big bluster by President Trump, trying to throw his weight around and show that he’s a big man in the first couple of weeks. I think many of the Republicans here in the House and Senate are deathly afraid of Donald Trump.
