Bill Clinton Calls Kiryas Joel Mayor To Back Rep. John Hall


Maggie Haberman of Politico reports:

There have been lots of reports this weekend about pushes with the ultra-Orthodox community of Kiryas Joel – which helped provide Democratic Rep. John Hall with half of his margin of win over then-GOP incumbent Sue Kelly in 2006.

The village votes in a bloc, based on the decision of its leaders, which makes it important. This time, it’s Hall on the ropes against Republican newbie Nan Hayworth, and both sides have surrogates making calls.

On Hall’s behalf in the last few days was Bill Clinton, who was put on the phone with the mayor of Kiryas Joel after Bronx Rep. Eliot Engel made a connection between the two. Clinton asked the mayor to please consider backing Hall in the race tomorrow.

According to one source, the mayor was cool to the ask. Another source disputed that and said the mayor said he’d consider it.

However, multiple sources say the mayor is leaning toward backing Hayworth, an endorsement that would be a coup for her.

  1. John Hall is a Toayva.

    It was wrong for Satmer to sell out their morals for a few bucks that never materialized the first time.

    It would be wrong for them to support this toayva now!

  2. DON’T VOTE DEMOCRATE. It is the leftist anti family option.Vote with people that can bring our country back from the brink of destruction

  3. Let’s stop pandering to the party that wants to push the worst kinds of immorality on us and our children.

    Clinton is the poster boy for all this schmutz!
