New York turned a lighter shade of blue than the Democratic party would have liked this election cycle. Gov. Kathy Hochul held on in a tight race against Rep. Lee Zeldin, winning by less than 6%. Jones himself opted not to run in his newly drawn district, paving the way for his senior Democratic colleague, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, to lose his general election against Republican Mike Lawler.
Jones said Cuomo withheld funds from the Legislature to boost participation in the Census, leading to the undercount. He said New York then lost its 27th congressional seat by just 89 votes.
