abortion rights after the supreme court s decision to overturn roe v. wade. while republican mark molinaro focused on inflation and crime. in the end, pat ryan, the democrat, beat his republican opponent. here is how his fellow new yorker and congressman sean patrick maloney, who runs the dccc and just won his own primary viewed that race. that is an earthquake and should send sifrs down the sign of kevin mccarthy and tom elmert, because their dreams of a big republican wave just went up in flames. the person you want to break this down, steve kornacki, who called the race the single biggest results of the primary season. we re going to get steve s ear piece fixed in a moment. he ll join me in just a second to break down all of these results out of new york and florida. and more revelations about the classified documents at the center of the fbi s search at mar-a-lago, including new questions about the risk to our national security. those boxes contain documents classifie
race. you know, the voters here in this district heard our friend, steve kornacki, talking about how significant this race really was. and it did fly under the radar for a while, but now, look, this is a swinging district, you mentioned it. it s reflected the national mood for many years now. it went from obama to trump to biden. it was republican held from its creation in 2012, until the blue wave in 2018. and this was far from a guaranteed victory from pat ryan. the republican party did have an advantage here because typically, in a year where one party controls washington, it is an uphill battle for the other side. but this really came down to issues. it wasn t about personality. molinaro running on inflation, calling this a referendum on the biden administration, but pat ryan really leaning in to abortion rights, as his main message. and people were really receptive to that, katie.
