Abortion On The Ballot: Democrat Squeaks Out Victory In Bellwether Race Ahead Of Midterms

New York Democrat Pat Ryan pulled out a win Tuesday in a special election that is considered a significant bellwether by politicos.

The swing district, NY-19, was won by former Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-NY) in 2020 by 12 points, but Joe Biden won the district by only 2 points in the same election. Republicans were hoping to flip it with Republican Dutchess County executive Marc Molinaro.

Ryan, though, was able to pull out a tight victory with 52% of the vote compared to Molinaro’s 48% when the race was called by the Associated Press around midnight.
