Democratic groups poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the final two weeks of Maloney's race in a last-minute attempt to win.

New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman, conceded defeat Wednesday in a phone call to Republican challenger Mike Lawler, a spokesperson for Maloney's campaign said Wednesday.

Maloney's concession, first reported by NBC News, came after Democratic super PACs and organizations poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into the final two weeks of his race in a last-minute attempt to win.

The Associated Press has not called the race, but with 98% of ballots counted, Maloney comes in at 49.4% of the vote to Lawler's 50.6%.

Top-ranking Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik congratulated Lawler on his win.

"Mike’s victory just sent SHOCKWAVES across the country as he FIRED failed DCCC Chair Sean Patrick Maloney!!" she tweeted.

Right on- this is my district and a flip.

As poor as a candidate Marc Molinaro is, looks like he’ll win the newly formed CD-19 in NY as well

The question is how did Republicans win two Congressional races in New york, but do so terribly elsewhere in New York in the country?

To truly give an indication they should take out the safe seats. I mean whoever want gets endorsed in those safe seats is going to win.

Upstate NY is Red, but near impossible to win anything statewide due to the millions of rat votes in NYC.

He can stay at home and raise his children, while his husband goes out and works.

I believe by the end of the week, the overall view of the mid-terms will look a lot better (redder).. Gotta win 1 of the 3 outstanding in GA/NV/AZ.. and we will see a lot of down ballot, state legislature, school board, court wins for Republicans.

The NY Election Board website must be way behind:

https://nyenr.elections.ny.gov/

Where is a source for more timely data?

The linked site doesn't reveal the % of ballots which have been counted, but it obviously is missing a ton of votes. According to that site Republicans have a chance to pick up CD-3, CD-4, CD-18 (probably won't happen), CD-19 and maybe hold onto CD-22. There's a tiny snowball's chance in hell of taking CD-25 as well.

Given a night like last night, in what crazy world is it possible that NEW YORK turns out to be one of the best REPUBLICAN states as far as pickups of House seats is concerned? Have we turned the clock back to 1954 or something?

Actually, a few of these hopeful pickups never really should have been so solidly Democrat in the first place, mainly those Hudson Valley districts -- they were marginal even before redistricting.

I agree with your assessment. We had some serious Kool-Aid drinking going on in here about a 55R-45D Senate and picking up 30+ seats n the House. I read the posts back in June....we were not counting on the Senate flipping and modest gains in the House. The last week like a girl on her 16th expecting a Porche and getting a Kia, we had unrealistic expectations. The hopium was based on fake polls and a circle-jerk echo chamber of wishcasting.

Oh wait it was all stolen, every election we lose is about those rascals stealing. I think we used to call this being a whiney loser b*tch
