💥 New York Dems are now convincingly leading in, or have won, enough seats to clinch a supermajority in NY’s Senate & legislature.
Game changed for redistricting.

He lost, they lost. Dems solidified power.

There’s a lot on the line within New York.
An expanded majority will enable Senate Dems to shed some centrist votes and still pass them.
