Massive D overperformance in a special election! In NY!
Again, overperformance by team blue in a special election! Note this is not technically a flip as this seat was “officially” held by a D. However, that D was so conservative that he was caucusing with Rs.
Protect Kamala Harris ✊

🚨NEW: Democrat Sam Sutton has won New York Senate District 22’s special election by 33 points. Trump won this seat by 55 in 2024, meaning an 88 percent over-performance for Democrats!
REPOST to congratulate Senator Sutton on this impressive victory!

Sutton, a businessman who has led a nonprofit for years, defeated Republican Nachman Caller, an attorney who previously ran for state Assembly a decade ago. His win keeps the seat in Democratic hands after the resignation of former state Sen. Simcha Felder, who resigned from his position last month to take a seat on the New York City Council.
The result seemed uncertain as Felder is a conservative Democrat who previously caucused with the state GOP conference for years. Felder repeatedly ran unopposed on the party line for the Democratic and Republican parties.
State Senate District 22 encompasses a part of Brooklyn that overwhelmingly voted for President Trump in the November presidential election.
But the district includes a heavily Orthodox Jewish area. Sutton has close ties to the Sephardic community as a co-leader of the Sephardic Community Federation.
Maybe the voters noticed that tRump is asking for gifts from the sponsors of Hamas?
At any rate, this is a bright spot of blue in a tough week. Congratulations to Sutton, and everyone here, enjoy!
