New York results for every midterm race
In New York, it’s all about the House races.
The Empire State has several Republican-held congressional seats that Democrats are hoping to flip, making Congressional races the most closely watched in the state. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) is up for reelection this year but is expected to win by such a comfortable margin that she’s been stumping for women candidates in other states.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing Republican challenger Marcus Molinaro and other third-party candidates, but Cuomo is expected to win and explore a perhaps overly optimistic 2020 presidential campaign. There’s also a contentious race for state attorney general, a seat that’s open after former AG Eric Schneiderman was accused of domestic abuse by multiple women. Democrat Letitia James faces off against Republican Keith Wofford, but no matter who emerges victorious, New York will finally elect a black attorney general.
When it comes to House races, Democrats’ best chances in contested elections could be in New York’s 19th and 22nd Congressional Districts, which are both rated as toss-ups by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. In NY-19, Antonio Delgado (D) is challenging Rep. John Faso (R). And in NY-22, Anthony Brindisi (D) is going up against Rep. Claudia Tenney (R).
But Democrats have several other House races they’re eyeing: The First, Second, 11th, 21st, 24th, and 27th Congressional Districts are all ones they hope to win if the blue wave is big enough. The 27th Congressional District only recently came into play after Rep. Chris Collins (R) was indicted for insider trading.
New York has something of an unusual state legislature setup. The state Senate has been in Republican control thanks to an Independent Democratic Conference that was dissolved earlier this year; progressive voters also ousted a number of its former members in the state’s primary elections this September. The entire state legislature is on the ballot today, and Daily Kos has rated both chambers as likely to go to Democrats.
President Trump’s home state has not taken kindly to him, with Morning Consult putting his disapproval rating here at nearly 60 percent.
