Key Point 1: Democrat wins New York's Third District Special election
In the special election for New York's Third District, a Democrat, Tom Swazie, won the seat, flipping it from red to blue. This district, which includes areas of Queens and Long Island, has been trending away from Democrats, but Swazie's victory shows that a moderate Democrat with a pro-border security message can be successful in swing districts.
