Republican Senate nominee Mike Sapraicone has come under scrutiny after being exposed for donating to New York Attorney General Letitia James, a move that has sparked controversy within his party. Former GOP Congressman Peter King has publicly called for Sapraicone to step down, citing the donation as a betrayal of party values. In response to the criticism, Sapraicone defended his loyalty to the party by highlighting a personal anecdote where he shared a hot dog with Donald Trump at a Mets game. This defense has been met with skepticism, with some commentators mocking the gesture as insufficient proof of loyalty, describing the situation as 'total clown world'. Additionally, Cara Castronuova is highlighted as the next in line for the nomination.
