It's a tough, uphill climb.

We had Max Rose from 2018 to 2020, but sloganeers trash talked him for refusing to adopt the "Defund the Police" mantra and Republicans trash talked him by tying him to "Defund the Police" sloganeers.

My guess is that Republicans will go negative by tying DeCillis to the "Abolish Prisons" stance of one of last night's winners and Malliotakis will remain in the seat.
