"Trump's Influence Wanes as Democrats Flip Republican Seat in New York"

The White House hailed Democrat Tom Suozzi's win in a New York special election as a "devastating repudiation" of Trump and Republicans, citing Suozzi's support for bipartisan border security legislation. Meanwhile, Trump distanced himself from Republican candidate Mazi Pilip's loss, criticizing her for not endorsing him. Both parties heavily invested in the race, which saw a Democrat reclaim a seat previously held by Republicans. Biden personally congratulated Suozzi on his victory.
