Kings Point as well as parts of Great Neck have a very large Iranian Jewish population, with a growing Orthodox Jewish population as well. Lawrence is heavily Orthodox. Both areas have trended heavily Republican over the past 10 years or so (they tended to be Trump's strongest areas on LI as well).
I feel bad for the normal old school democrats, same for the old school republicans.
These radicals ruin it for the whole bunch.
They should just go off and start their own parties.
I am old enough to remember the days of being cordial and agreeing to disagree with repect to each other’s differences in opinions. Now it’s just this “you’re either with us or against us” attitude, both sides. Meh.
Can’t vote for a party that doesn’t know the difference between a man and a woman. A party that supports drag queen story-hour, millions of illegals, brings us closer to WW3, and lawlessness in our cities and in general (George Floyd riots).
I would not say she was awful from the Democratic perspective (the Party CAN easily find someone worse) but she is really something of a lightweight.
I was shocked she actually had the audacity to run for president in 2020, not only against Biden but Democratic heavyweights like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Did she think she had a chance? I cannot think of one thing she has accomplished by herself.
Even more shocking was fact she pulled a Hilary Clinton; swore up and down while running for reelection as senator wouldn't run for another office if she actually won. Which is exactly what happened, and the woman lost big time in primaries.
It shows sad state of NYS politics that Gillibrand who was appointed by Patterson to replace Hilary Clinton was elected in first place, and that she keeps winning.
Woman does nothing but carry Chuck Schumer's water. Sad and very scary thing is given CS's age if he retires soon (or dies in office), that woman would become senior senator of NYS.

It’s because she has a D next to her name that’s literally all you need in this state. But it she ever gets challenged by some progressive with a big name she could very well lose her seat in a future primary

Granted its a heavily Democratic state and even if she faced a strong challenger she would almost certainly win, (the same is true in the Senate for almost all states that lean heavily in one direction or another) but its not like Republicans have mounted any type of credible challenge. Farley, Long and DioGuardi have been the three challengers. Literally the strongest candidate that has run against Gillbrand was someone who wasn't in office for 20 years (though running for a bunch of offices and losing along the way) that sat on a board of a company tied to a Ponzi scheme in the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession.

New map poised to be approved only has very minor changes within the 2% framework the commission drew. Massapequa area will go back to garbarino. D’espisito pretty much unchanged. Few other minor tweaks but nothing even close to the rejected map from last year.

Yup, looks like LaLota and D'Esposito get marginally more Republican districts, Suozzi gets a marginally more Democratic district. D'Esposito's district is completely unchanged.

All in all a pretty fair map IMO with some minor dem advantages
