After Big 2022 Wins, New York Republican House Reps Face 2024 Reelection Challenges

The GOP gained four Congressional seats during the state’s midterms elections, but demographics and court rulings imperil six Republican freshmen incumbents

Republicans gained four House seats in New York in 2022, a surprising splash of red in a presumed deep blue state that helped the GOP notch its narrow chamber edge and salvaged an otherwise disappointing midterm performance by the party.

If Republicans are to retain or expand their House majority in 2024, defending those New York seats is a top national GOP priority, especially with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) making winning them back a rallying cry.
