Pivotal races to watch in New York

Half a dozen House races in New York, though not a battleground state, are expected to play an important role in determining control of the lower chamber. The six seats, five of which are held by Republicans, helped decide the House majority in 2022. 

• New York’s 1st District: Rep. Nick LaLota, a first-term ***********, is facing a competitive race against moderate Democrat John Avlon, a former CNN anchor. 
• New York’s 4th District: Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, a first-term ***********, is in a tough race against Democrat Laura Gillen, a former Hempstead Town supervisor. He is one of three House Republicans whose races are considered lean Democrat by

  .
• New York’s 17th District: Rep. Mike Lawler, a first-term ***********, narrowly won his seat in 2022 when he defeated Sean Patrick Maloney, who led the House Democrats’ campaign arm. It was a major loss for Democrats. This time, Lawler is running against former Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones. 
• New York’s 18th District: Rep. Pat Ryan was the only Democrat in New York’s battleground districts to win in 2022. He’s running against *********** Alison Esposito, a former New York City police officer. 
• New York’s 19th District: Rep. Marc Molinaro, a first-term ***********, is in a rematch with his Democratic opponent Josh Riley, whom he narrowly beat in 2022. 
• New York’s 22nd District: Rep. Brandon Williams, another first-term ***********, is one of three House Republicans whose races are considered lean Democrat by

Hakeem Jeffries could make history if Democrats retake majority

House ********* Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York could make history as the first ****** speaker if Democrats win the majority. 

It wouldn’t be the first time he’s made history. Jeffries became the first ****** lawmaker to lead a party in Congress when he was elected ********* leader in January 2023, succeeding former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as the top Democrat in the lower chamber. His election also made him the first House Democratic leader to be born after the end of World War II. 

Jeffries was first elected to Congress in 2012.

House GOP leadership to hold elections on Nov. 13

House Republicans will hold leadership elections on Nov. 13 after Congress returns from recess. It’s a quick turnaround because sluggish returns from California and races that are too close to call or are contested could blur the picture of which party has the majority on Nov. 13. 

If Republicans lose control of the House, there could be a shakeup in GOP leadership. It’s unclear if House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana would run for ********* leader or if anyone would challenge him. 

House Democrats haven’t said when they’ll hold their leadership elections.

GOP infighting a staple of the 118th Congress

Republicans took back control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections after four years of Democratic rule. But GOP infighting has made it difficult to govern with a razor-thin majority amid early retirements and the expulsion of Rep. George Santos, whose seat was later picked up by a Democrat. 

In January 2023, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California finally won the speaker’s gavel after 15 ballots amid a prolonged — and public — ****** with conservatives who demanded concessions, foreshadowing the limits of his power over a fractured party.

His deal with far-right Republicans to allow a single member to trigger a no-confidence vote to remove the speaker came back to haunt him nine months later after he relied on the votes of House Democrats to temporarily avert a government shutdown. Eight Republicans voted with all Democrats to remove McCarthy, making it the first time in U.S. history a House speaker was ousted by such a motion. 

Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana succeeded McCarthy after three weeks of chaos caused by the GOP’s inability to coalesce around a candidate. Though Johnson has faced similar issues as McCarthy and has had to rely on Democratic votes to pass legislation, he has survived in the role longer than his predecessor. Democrats stepped in to rescue Johnson from an ouster attempt in May.

Battle for control of the House

Of the 435 House seats on the ballot, about 40 are seen as competitive, according to

, a nonpartisan election analysis site that considers 22 of those races toss-ups. Of those 22 seats, 10 are held by Democrats and 12 by Republicans. Of the other 21 competitive seats, 13 are lean Democrat and eight are lean ***********. 

Republicans currently have 220 seats. Democrats have 212. There are three vacancies due to the deaths of Rep. Sheila Jackson, a Texas Democrat, and Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., a New Jersey Democrat, and the early retirement of Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Wisconsin ***********. 

For Democrats to take control of the chamber they’d have to hold on to their 212 seats and the two vacancies from deaths, as well as pick up four seats. 

It’s unlikely to be that easy, however. Redrawn congressional maps in North Carolina mean three seats held by Democrats are poised to be easily won by Republicans.

But the swing toward Republicans is blunted in part by redrawn congressional districts in Louisiana and Alabama that are likely to be won by Democrats under the new lines.
