Democrats, DSA have to get along for blue wave to matter | Opinion

NEW YORK CITY — Crystal chandeliers. Marble columns. As much security as the airport. I walked into the New York Democrats' election night watch party at the Hilton in midtown, knowing I could only be there for a few minutes. With multiple parties happening across the city on Nov. 3, I would have had to clone myself to be everywhere I needed to be to watch as Democrats ushered in their blue wave . Would I go to the smaller Democratic Socialists of America's gathering or stay to watch as the establishment Democrats toasted success? I chose to check in on the DSA. Election night was more than a clear indication that voters are tired of MAGA. It was more than a clear message that Democrats won over voters . It was also a reminder that Democrats need to figure out how to work together. Progressives and moderates alike. Nothing made that clearer than their New York watch parties. El-Sayed asked Michigan voters to reject MAGA. They listened | Opinion One election night, two very different Democratic victory parties I started at the Manhattan hotel room where Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James would make their victory

Post-election statistics show that Hochul cruised to re-election with more than 1.5 million votes in the five boroughs on Tuesday, topping the 1.1 million who showed up at the polls last year to send Mamdani to Gracie Mansion. Hochul cruised to victory with more than 76% of the vote, beating GOP nominee Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive who got 468,543 Big Apple votes, or 23.7%, according to unofficial Board of Election tallies.

New York pols are pushing bills about Puerto Rico
