Democrats flipped a Republican seat in New York on Tuesday, networks project.
Democrats successfully flipped a GOP congressional seat in New York, fighting off the steady gains that Republicans have made in the district and their immigration attacks amid the state's migrant crisis.Former U.S. Representative Tom Suozzi won back his House seat in New York's 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mazi Pilip. AP called the race shortly after 10 p.m., with Suozzi receiving 58.7 percent of the vote and Pilip at 41.3 percent.
The Democrat even hit Biden on his age, telling Fox's Good Day New York on the eve of the election that the 81-year-old president is 'old' and stopping short of committing to voting for his reelection.Political consultant Jay Townsend told Newsweek that Suozzi's victory on Tuesday was partly to do with his moderate image, as well as his acumen and early voting strategy. He also said that Pilip's lack of political skills likely boosted the Democrat in the race.
