It was an unexpected clean sweep for Republicans in Long Island's four hotly contested congressional races. Political observers told McLoganTV the region's swing to red is seen as pivotal for the balance of power in the House of Representatives.
Dawidziak said said suburbia could swing blue next time.
"That doesn't mean these districts are red. It just means that they are purple and there was a red wave yesterday," Dawidziak said. "More of a swing issue for their pocketbook and nothing to do with them actually being aligned with the Republican Party," Hempstead voter Christopher Gabriel said. "When you see an area that has been very dominantly blue and Democratic leaning for so long, flip, it just tells you that the quality of life people are seeking on Long Island is not what was being delivered," said Santos, who won in the 3rd Congressional District.On Long Island, it appears public safety and the pocketbook were the issues that mattered most on Tuesday.All the new congressional first timers are due in Washington on Monday for orientation.
