Rep. Max Rose concedes to GOP challenger Nicole Malliotakis in NYC congressional upset
Source: Daily News
Rep. Max Rose conceded his first race for reelection to Republican challenger Nicole Malliotakis on Thursday, putting New York Citys only congressional battleground district back under GOP control.
Malliotakis declared victory on election night last week, but Rose initially refused to back down, citing thousands of outstanding mail-in ballots cast in the race for the 11th congressional district, which covers all of Staten Island and a sliver of Southern Brooklyn.
As ballots continued to be tallied Thursday afternoon, though, Rose acknowledged he no longer had a path to victory.

(9,237 posts)By itself, an unbelievable accomplishment in an overwhelmingly conservative district. He lost because Republicans succeeded in painting him to be too far to the left, not because Democrats painted him to be too far to the right.
