Josh Eisen in 2024 NY Senate race


On Abortion: I think there is room for pregnancy terminations

Eisen clarified that the Republican Party will not nominate someone who takes the positions that he took. "I was running on a pro-union platform. I don't believe that life begins at conception; I think there is room for pregnancy terminations, certainly the Plan B pill. Legalizing marijuana, pro-union or the abortion positions are things that no Republican elected official can publicly talk about. For these reasons, I did not primary on the Republican line. "

The candidate said he does not count student loans as qualifying loans that the government should take action on. The businessman criticized [Senator Kirsten] Gillibrand as supporting forgiving student loans when students feel it is "beneath them to take an Uber job," Eisen said. "Instead of advocating for people who borrowed money to work, she's advocating for the people who borrowed money to party and to go to school," Eisen said.
