New York Dems Look To Pick Up Seats In Congress With Redistricting

Redistricting could net Democrats as many as three Congressional seats, from an advantage in 19 of 27 districts to 22 of 26.

New York State has a new Congressional map — and it's set to shake up the midterms from both the right and the left. 

Governor Kathy Hochul approved the maps Thursday night, which could net Democrats as many as three Congressional seats, taking them from an advantage in 19 of 27 districts to 22 of 26. 

And in a time when Republican control of state legislatures were thought to give them a political edge in redistricting, New York showcases how both parties are using the once in a decade process to their advantage.
