The internet is deeming it a “blue tsunami” as Democrats swept seats in state and federal races across the country, and south Brooklyn surely was a part of that tidal wave. In the big-name statewide...

New: Democrats swept four state legislative races in southern Brooklyn, soundly defeating their Republican opponents and taking back ground in one of the few parts of New York City the party had lost their grip on in recent years. W/ @mandywrites_ cityandstateny.com/politics/…

Four competitive state legislative seats in southern Brooklyn went to Democrats, even as the Brooklyn Democratic Party is mired in a civil war.

Following a few sporadic gasps and cheers, news of Cait Conley’s opponent Mike Lawler’s concession is slowly spreading amongst the crowd, with “CAIT CAIT CAIT” chants beginning to erupt. Conley is expected to address the crowd shortly.

Following her election win tonight, Hudson Valley Assembly Member Sarahana Shrestha called for more public transit in the Hudson Valley that could be funded by increased taxes on the ultra wealthy. “We need real trains in this country.
We need high speed rail.”

Tons of excitement in southern Brooklyn as Larry He, chief of staff of Assembly Member William Colton, declares victory against Republican state Sen. Steve Chan. This was a big race for Democrats, possibly clinching them a super majority in the state Senate.

“We just cleaned house. For all those naysayers who are always critiquing Brooklyn Dems, we have something for them,” a jubilant Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn says of the four Dems in southern Brooklyn who appear to have won their state legislative races. “We move forward.”

New: You might not know it watching the fractious Brooklyn Democratic Party wage war with itself, but the election looms just around the corner, bringing with it the opportunity for Dems to reclaim four state legislative seats in southern Brooklyn. cityandstateny.com/politics/…
The Brooklyn Democratic Party is at war with itself. Can they flip four seats this November?

The Brooklyn Democratic Party is at war with itself. Can they flip four seats this November?

In a potential blue wave year, four state legislative seats in Brooklyn are in play for Democrats. Will the county machine’s mess be a costly distraction?

In NYC, the Early Vote will drop at ~9:05pm In 2022, Hochul led Zeldin in EV ~381K votes (74.84%) to ~127K votes (24.98%). They finished 69.68% to 30.15% in NYC. Tonight, if Hochul wins 80%+ of the NYC EV, the race is callable immediately IMO.
