It's a time of transition on Capitol Hill. As departing lawmakers pack up their things, first-time lawmakers like Maxwell Frost and Mike Lawler are getting ready to settle in.

A relative red wave in New York U.S. House races helped tip the balance of power in Congress. But several winners were moderate Republicans with little appetite for far-right provocation.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., was unanimously elected on Wednesday as the next leader of the House Democratic Caucus. The 52-year-old Brooklyn native, who succeeds 82-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , will be the first Black and first nonwhite party leader in Congress. In 2018 he defeated Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., to become chair of the House Democratic Caucus, making him the fifth-ranking member of the Democratic leadership in the chamber. In 2002, Pelosi became the first woman elected as a party leader in Congress. Shortly after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was elected in 2018, a group closely allied with the congresswoman discussed recruiting a primary challenger to run against Jeffries.

New York congressman-elect Mike Lawler described his successful win in a blue district as well as his future vote on a new House Speaker on “Sunday Night in America.”

DCCC chief Sean Patrick Mahoney attacked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in the aftermath of their party losing four New York seats.

Republicans flipped four congressional seats, including one held by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who ran the House Democrats' campaign arm. It was the closest governor's race in the state since 1994 when incumbent Democrat Mario Cuomo lost to Republican George Pataki. But the New York challenges were especially disappointing because they happened in a state where Democrats have twice as many registered voters as Republicans. “It’s one thing for the Florida Democratic party to be an absolute neutered disgrace. It’s another thing to have deep problems in the Democratic Party in a state like New York,” Democratic strategist Jon Reinish said.

While Democrats were celebrating a stronger-than-expected midterm performance across much of the U.S. this week, New York was emerging as a notable exception where losses and lackluster results prompted a round of soul-searching and finger-pointing inside the party.

Either party could secure a Senate majority with wins in both Nevada and Arizona — where the races were too early to call. But Republicans notched several important victories in their bid to get to the 218 seats needed to reclaim the House majority. In a particularly symbolic victory, the GOP toppled House Democratic campaign chief Sean Patrick Maloney of New York. “As we sit here I can't, with 100% certainty, tell you who holds the House majority," said Maloney, whose defeat marks the first time since 1980 the head of the Democratic House campaign arm has been defeated. Trump lifted Republican Senate candidates to victory in Ohio and North Carolina.

Either party could secure a Senate majority with wins in both Nevada and Arizona — where the races were too early to call.

In the House, Democrats kept seats in districts from Virginia to Kansas to Rhode Island, while many districts in states like New York and California had not been called. But Republicans held on to governors' mansions in Florida, Texas and Georgia, another battleground state Biden narrowly won two years ago. Votes were still being counted across the country, meaning Republicans could still emerge with control of both chambers of Congress. “As we sit here I can't, with 100% certainty, tell you who holds the House majority," said New York Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, head of the Democrats House campaign organization, after conceding his own race Wednesday. Trump lifted Republican Senate candidates to victory in Ohio and North Carolina.

In a sign of the potential Republican gains in next month’s midterm elections, House Democratic campaign chief Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney is in danger of losing his upstate New York seat. The irony is that Maloney actually switched districts earlier this year to run in an easier seat for a Democratic candidate to win. The new 17th district encompasses part of the Hudson Valley and it includes Maloney’s home. President Biden won the new 17th district by 10 points in 2020, just a slightly larger margin than Biden’s advantage in the new 18th district. Maloney was challenged in the 17th district primary by progressive state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, who attacked Maloney for putting his own interests ahead of the party’s.
