Election Day 2024 Focuses on New York Races

Election Day in New York is crucial, as Vice President Kamala Harris is projected to win the state, contributing to the Democratic Party's efforts to reclaim control of the U.S. House. Several competitive House races in the Hudson Valley and Long Island are pivotal, with Democrats seeking to unseat Republican incumbents who gained seats in 2022. In the small town of Dixville Notch, Harris and former President Trump tied in the midnight vote, reflecting the tight national race. Key congressional contests include Democratic candidate Laura Gillen challenging incumbent Republican Anthony D'Esposito and other tight races in Rockland County and central New York. The election also features a ballot proposal regarding reproductive rights, which has generated division among voters. As Democrats rally their base, they emphasize issues like reproductive rights and workers' rights, aiming for a significant turnout to reclaim seats.
