Editorial: The New York Times

• For Democrats, key elections on Long Island could determine control of the House, a scene where Trumpism has thrived.
• Political efforts from Democrats are expected to be more intense than ever to secure the house seats including mobilization of minority voters.
• Running Democrats have a range of backgrounds, each hitting different points that could resonate with voters.
• Racial diversity in Long Island suburbs, a legacy of historic racial exclusion, adds an additional layer of complexity to the political scene.
• Republicans have capitalized on concerns about immigration and state bail reform to revitalize fears over crime and other progressive policies.

Conclusion: For Democrats, winning in Long Island may require a more moderate and tactical approach in the current political climate where Republicanism has gained ground.
