Riding the coattails of a favorable congressional map and negative Democratic headwinds on crime and the economy, Republicans scored surprise wins in New York in 2022 to wrestle back control of the House. In this four-part series, the Washington Examiner will take a look at how focused the GOP will be on the Empire State in 2024 and if it can stop the Democratic Party from regaining the upper hand in its traditional stronghold. Part three of this series will look at whether Republicans still think spending their resources in New York is the key to long-term success or if the return on their investment will be too low.

New York has emerged as a key battleground for Republicans in the 2024 election. The outcome of highly competitive House races will reveal whether the state’s red wave in 2022 was a fluke dependent on the congressional maps that will now be altered or a sign of political change in the Democratic stronghold.
