New York Republicans launch campaign website with embarrassing error, directing visitors to former congressman's page

The Republican campaign launch for New York's 4th Congressional District was marred by an embarrassing website error, directing visitors to a former congressman's site. The official website for nominee Jeanine Driscoll mistakenly displayed the branding and information of ex-Congressman Anthony D'Esposito, who lost re-election in 2024. The site was subsequently taken offline. This incident follows a similar website gaffe by Republicans last year and occurs as the party faces an uphill battle in the 2026 midterm elections for the district.
