The Cook PVI for the 9th is only D+5, and the district has been trending Republican. I really do not know how someone like Weiner has continued to stay there. The right Republican could win the district if enough of an investment is put into it. I don’t know how much that would be worth considering they are probably going to eliminate it, but it might have great symbolic value for a conservative Republican to take the “progressive” psychopath Anthony Weiner’s seat.
Even in the unlikely event that Republicans win this district, it’ll probably be eliminated in redistricting. At the same time, this would give Republicans leverage to eliminate an upstate New York DemocRAT’s district.
