Republican redistricting fell short, with House stakes
The Washington Examiner calls the result a loss for Republicans who redrew the seat to protect their "ultra-slim majority." It gives the 51.5% to 46.4% split, notes the Congressional Leadership Fund pulled spending in October and says the win means the will likely pick up "only a fraction" of the seats it redrew. Townhall reports the projection from Decision Desk HQ, cites the "Lean Democrat" rating and builds on antisemitism and cost of living, quoting Singer's post, "Stop the Squad.
Vote Scott Singer." Just the News says Republicans "tried to turn" the seat red and calls it one of the first signs of a long night for them.
