As a result of the temporary map, Empire State Democrats were set on collision courses with one another. Ultimately, Republicans managed to flip four congressional seats.

Democrats have also been scrambling to hold onto the Senate. They find themselves in a defensive crunch this cycle, forced to defend 23 seats compared to the 11 for the Republicans.
