| In the wake of deadly mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas, Representative Chris Jacobs of New York stunned fellow Republicans by embracing a federal assault weapons ban and limits on high-capacity magazines. It took only seven days for political forces to catch up with him. On Friday, facing intense backlash from party leaders, a potential primary from the state party chairman and a forceful dressing down from Donald Trump Jr., Mr. Jacobs announced that he would abandon his re-election campaign. |
