Midday News: Leaked Young Republican Chat Sparks Firings, NYC Faces Power Reliability Risks, and Garage Collapse Closes Streets in White Plains
Update: 2025-10-15
Description
Messages from a leaked group chat obtained by Politico show members of Young Republican groups from New York and across the country using racist, sexist, and antisemitic slurs. The outlet reports several members have since lost their jobs. Meanwhile, New York’s power grid operator warns the city could face longer and more frequent outages over the next five years due to rising electricity demand and delays in new power generation. Also, officials in White Plains are urging the public to avoid the area around the Westchester shopping complex after a partial parking garage collapse forced multiple road closures. Plus, Politico reporter Jason Beeferman joins us later to discuss the fallout from the leaked messages.
