Tom Suozzi

Democrats have clinched a key seat in the U.S. House of Representatives with Tom Suozzi’s special election win in New York. The narrow Republican majority in the House will shrink even further after Suozzi takes office.

New Yorkers head to the polls for Tuesday’s special election. The tight race is a toss-up between Democrat Tom Suozzi and Republican Mazi Pilip in a district viewed nationally as a bellwether.

The special election to replace George Santos in New York’s 3rd congressional district could narrow the Republican majority in the U.S. House. The tight race is a toss-up between Republican Mazi Pilip and Democrat Tom Suozzi, and will likely hinge on voter turnout on Tuesday.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul won Tuesday’s Democratic primary, her first contest in seeking a full term as governor. She’ll face Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin in the November election.

Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams lost the Democratic Party primary to incumbent New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

New York’s registered Democrats and Republicans are voting in primaries Tuesday that will determine the party’s choice for governor. While Governor Kathy Hochul is comfortably ahead of her two opponents, the results of the four-way Republican primary for governor are less clear.

Governor Kathy Hochul is seeking a full term after succeeding Andrew Cuomo who resigned last year. If elected in November, she would be the first woman chosen by voters as New York's governor.

In this year’s Democratic primary for the position, three candidates are running: Antonio Delgado, Ana Maria Archila and Diana Reyna. Each is associated with a candidate who is running for governor, but in the primary, they are elected separately.

It’s less than three weeks until New York state’s primary for governor, and so far, it seems the contest is Governor Kathy Hochul’s to lose. While she’s ahead of her two challengers, Hochul does have some potential vulnerabilities.
