Behind the scenes of one of the midterms' biggest upsets — Democrat Max Rose's defeat of incumbent Republican Dan Donovan on Staten Island. https://t.co/Ka7J1vmNce— Politics Insider (@Politicsinsider) November 10, 2018
Staten Island is known as New York City's reddest borough and went to Donald Trump in 2016....
Dan Donovan, the Republican incumbent for New York's 11th District (which encompasses all of Staten Island and the southern tip of Brooklyn) won the last congressional election by 53,000 votes....
Many were drawn to Rose for the opportunity to help him achieve what many considered impossible: flipping the reddest district in New York City. Jack Donohue, a member of Rose's campaign, admitted that while he disagreed with a few aspects of Rose's platform, this election was bigger than that. According to Donohue, "Max Rose is the blueprint for Democrats across the country," who want to flip historically Republican districts.
