One of the biggest upsets was in the 13th Congressional District. Democratic Socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier beat five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat.
Joining us to discuss is ABC News Political Director Averi Harper and Political Consultant Hank Sheinkopf.
And after the death of a teenager who fell off a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park, there are renewed calls to permanently ban those rides, which are a longstanding and popular New York City tourist attraction.
For years, animal rights activists have called the controversial rides dangerous and inhumane. Now, there's a bill before the New York City Council to stop the rides once and for all.
On this episode of "Up Close," we talk to the sponsor of the bill, Councilman Christopher Marte, and also the union representing carriage drivers whose jobs are now at stake.
Up Close with Liz Cho airs Sundays at 11:00 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
