He lost by the smallest margin since Patacki won in 1994. The GOP has run "safe" candidates time and time again and they got blown out 20-30 points. Zeldin barely lost (looks like only 3.5 points) and massively helped the down ballot in NY, as it looks like it will be a sweep for LI house seats and flipped a bunch more upstate which will be key to taking back the house.
Rob Astorino would have likely won this year, same for Molinaro. The economic downturn had a big impact on the house races. Trump and support for Zeldin hurt him in NY

LOL you need to stop smoking. Either would have been stomped in the general. We owe winning the house down ballot votes to zeldin (its an official GOP SWEEP on LI now). No one would have gotten excited about another boring upstate no name. GOP has tried that again and again to nothing but failure.
Nassau County Republican party leadership have to be thrilled with these results. Repubs won up and down the ticket, proving the Blakeman win was no mirage. With Suffolk already in the red, and GOP picking up critical House seats, the Island is firmly in the red. No small feat given the voter registration gap.
Zeldin won 55/45 in Nassau and even Pinion bested Schumer 52/48. Zeldin needed higher margins though and it's hard to deny that his ties to Trump hurt him given the national results for candidates Trump supported.
Lawn signs certainly don't vote and I hardly saw a Hochul sign here in Nassau.
Fascinating to see the gap between Nassau/Suffolk and Westchester where Hochul won 60/40.

Hochul won by ~400k votes in a state that is 50% registered Democrat. Zeldin did about as well as anyone could have expected. DeSantis didn't work some amazing magic in Florida, he won by about the same margins as the Republican governors in Ohio and South Dakoda, and benefitted from mass migration into the state of Republican voters. He's just getting more press because the GOP leadership wants him to run over Trump.
Ironically, something close to 800k people fled NY for Florida in the last couple of years, so you could say that the people who would have voted for Zeldin already left.
Anyway, strap in. I wonder what's on Cruella's agenda first?
- Forcing your kids to take the vax
- Changing the voting laws to ensure Republicans never win again
- Moving local voting to the same years as state/federal voting to ensure Republicans never win again (she already tried this and I'm sure will again)
- Changing zoning laws to stuff more multi-family units into the suburbs (she already tried this and I'm sure will again)
- Doing everything possible to continue fighting against the SCOTUS concealed carry decision, tying up law abiding people in court for as long as possible
- More freebies for druggies, homeless, and illegals
- More trans "protection" like they just passed in California, making it so that not allowing your child to surgically mutilate their genitals earns you a visit from CPS
- More "climate change" garbage resulting in rolling blackouts like they presently have in Los Angeles
Oh but you can have an abortion I guess (like that was ever at risk in NY).
The bottom line is that the odds were so slanted by virtue of Zelda needing to cover a 30% margin to just break even in NYC. Despite the stupidity factor playing into this NY was not alone. How anyone could vote for Fetterman over DR. OZ is beyond me (and I think that OZ was at best a so-so candidate) is beyond me.
Good luck NY and PA you are gonna need it.
