<p>Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Sean Patrick Maloney downplayed his party&#8217;s struggles in deep-blue New York.</p>
<p>During an appearance on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;This Week&#8221; Sunday, Maloney claimed that Republicans are wasting money in their efforts to flip his seat in the 17th District, as well as win the state&#8217;s gubernatorial race. Maloney contended that Republicans are simply &#8220;lashing out&#8221; in anger, using dark money, because they do not have plans to tackle issues.</p>
<p>&#8220;Speaking of New York, as you mentioned, the Republicans have gone in big to try to defeat you,&#8221; host Jonathan Karl said. &#8220;They think that your seat is winnable. We&#8217;ve also seen recent polling that shows that Governor [Kathy] Hochul is facing a very tough challenge, much tougher than expected, from Lee Zeldin, the Republican. Could we really see Democrats in trouble in New York of all places?&#8221; he asked.</p>
<p class="fnmMv geuMB alqtB wqIGQ">&#8220;What I can tell you is that [Republicans are] acting like angry people and they&#8217;re lashing out with what they&#8217;ve got which, is big, dark MAGA millions,&#8221; Maloney said. &#8220;Like I said, they&#8217;re lighting on fire $7 million trying to beat me and on the day after the election, they&#8217;re going to lose this seat and wish they had that $7 million out in races they could win.&#8221;</p>
<p class="fnmMv geuMB alqtB wqIGQ">&#8220;That tells me they’re not good at their jobs and I don’t want those people making decisions about my national security, or my economy or my reproductive freedom because they&#8217;re angry people, using dark mega-millions to try to win power,&#8221; he continued.</p>
<p class="fnmMv geuMB alqtB wqIGQ">&#8220;No, what you&#8217;re seeing is a bunch of irrational angry decisions using money, not a plan to help our communities or move our country forward.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“The other side is acting like angry people and they&#39;re lashing out with what they&#39;ve got which, is big, dark MAGA millions&#8230;They&#39;re lighting on fire $7 million trying to beat me,&quot; Rep. Sean Maloney tells <a href="https://twitter.com/jonkarl?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JonKarl</a>. </p>
<p>&quot;They&#39;re going to lose this seat &quot; <a href="https://t.co/Kh1yT6iIsS">https://t.co/Kh1yT6iIsS</a> <a href="https://t.co/9nrSunYXxV">pic.twitter.com/9nrSunYXxV</a></p>
<p>&mdash; This Week (@ThisWeekABC) <a href="https://twitter.com/ThisWeekABC/status/1584193740092342272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 23, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>But for all of Maloney&#8217;s bluster, he and Governor Hochul appear to be in very close races that they risk losing. There are no major public polls of Maloney&#8217;s home district, New York&#8217;s 17th, but <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/house/2022/new-york/17/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">internal polling</a> obtained by FiveThirtyEight shows that Republican Michael V. Lawler holds significant leads in the race by as much as 6 points.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the New York governor&#8217;s race is listed as a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-governors-race-in-a-deep-blue-state-moved-to-toss-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">toss-up</a> by RealClearPolitics. Recent polls have shown the contest is extremely close: A poll from the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-finds-republican-lee-zeldin-neck-and-neck-with-kathy-hochul-in-governors-race-in-deep-blue-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trafalgar Group</a> released earlier this month found that Zeldin was within the margin of error against Hochul. Another poll from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lee-zeldin-can-win-new-polling-shows-vital-gain-for-new-yorks-republican-gubernatorial-candidate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quinnipiac</a> showed that Zeldin trailed by just 4 points. Most recently, a poll by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-poll-shows-zeldin-with-a-small-lead-over-kathy-hochul-in-deep-blue-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Co/efficient</a> showed that Zeldin leads Hochul. Zeldin has surged in recent weeks with his focus on rising crime.</p>
