"Battle for a Key New York Seat: GOP's Fight for House Majority"

The battle for control of the US House of Representatives is intensifying in New York's suburbs, with six freshman Republicans, including vulnerable Rep. Mike Lawler, fighting to hold onto their seats in Democratic battlegrounds. Lawler, who won in a heavily Democratic district, is being challenged by Democrat Mondaire Jones, who criticized Lawler's record and accused him of shifting positions. Both parties are expected to spend significant amounts of money in this closely watched race, as Democrats aim to flip the seat and Republicans seek to maintain their slim majority in the House.
