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

rawstory.com —

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.
