    Part of it was the money, and yes part of it was that there’s been redistricting across NY state since he was last elected, his constituancy is now clearly more wealthy, right-wing and racist.

    Democrats are working hard to push the party further to the right using the same kind of gerrymandering tactics that the GOP uses to capture whole states. Dems redistrict to keep things blue, but water down the voting power of the center left.
