Rep. Ritchie Torres, a congressman serving New York's 15th district since 2021, has recently shared his thoughts and congratulations via social media posts. Known for his active engagement on issues related to working families and diversity in leadership, Torres took to Twitter to express his support and reflections on recent political developments.
On November 20, 2024, Rep. Torres expressed admiration for Sarah McBride, stating that "The people of Delaware could not be more lucky to have the wonderful Sarah McBride representing them in the 119th Congress." He also mentioned his eagerness to work alongside her in January to deliver for working families.
Later the same day, Rep. Torres extended his congratulations to a colleague by tweeting "Wishing a big congrats to my friend @RepEspaillat, who I know will do a fantastic job as Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus." This shows his support for leadership within the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
On November 21, 2024, Rep. Torres commented on a political situation involving Matt Gaetz with a metaphorical observation: "A wise man once said: 'if a clown enters a palace, the clown does not become a king. The palace becomes a circus.'" He asserted that Gaetz is "a clown" and suggested that withdrawing Gaetz's nomination prevents the Department of Justice from becoming chaotic.
