> Democrats are sliding down the shitter pipe.
Republicans on Long Island, New York, scored a historic victory on Tuesday
night, solidifying gains they have made in the area and providing a small
bright spot in an otherwise disappointing night nationwide.
Republican Ed Romaine defeated Democrat Dave Calone on Tuesday to become
the first Republican to win the Suffolk County executive position in 20
years.
Romaine won with 56% of the vote by a margin of 26,000 votes, The
Associated Press projected.
Romaine’s victory gives Republicans commanding control on the eastern part
of Long Island, where the GOP occupies all the countywide seats in Nassau
and Suffolk counties as well as all four congressional seats.
"This is a political earthquake," former Sen. Al D’Amato, R-N.Y., told the
New York Post.
Romaine told his supporters on Tuesday night that they have "given me a
large mandate tonight and I plan to use that mandate to move this county
forward."
The Republican victory builds on the "red wave" that has swept across Long
Island in recent years, which political analysts have attributed to
spiking crime and the liberal push to defund police.
Former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., often credited with being a key catalyst
of New York's "red wave," called Romaine's victory an "enormous flip" in a
social media post.
"For the third year in a row, [Republicans] in New York had a great night,
defeating incumbents and winning upset elections across the state," New
York GOP Chairman Ed Cox said in a statement, adding that Long Island has
become a "Republican bastion."
