BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Democrats signaled confidence in the final days of the campaign in New York’s 19th Congressional District, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., seeking to assuage worries about former President’s Donald Trump’s “little secret” with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. because he expects New York to deliver the Democrats a House majority.
Voters lined up down the block in anticipation of Josh Riley's Binghamton event with Jeffries. Riley had run against Rep. Marc Molinaro, R-NY., in 2022 and lost by just about 4,500 votes in the final tally. This year, the race is just as close and, on November 1, was considered the closest House race in the country in FiveThirtyEight’s forecast.
