While a red wave didn't necessarily carry the nation, an unlikely battleground on Long Island will turn all four seats in the U.S. House red.
in Long Island's 3rd Congressional District for the seat held by outgoing Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi.
"We like our way of life," Santos said. "We don't like the rampant crime, we don't like the cost of living. We need to start tackling gas — if we attack energy it'll help inflation."The tightest race was in the 4th Congressional District where Republican Anthony D'Esposito narrowly defeated Democrat Laura Gillen, flipping another seat held by Democrats since 1997.
Long Island's immediacy to one of the cities in the country where the issue of crime and inflation cut the deepest is one of the reasons, according to experts to explain the local red wave. Add to that the energy and unity of the Republican base over Lee Zeldin's candidacy for governor and also they say the lack of lifelines at the top of the Democratic ticket.
