Democrat Josh Riley won election to a U.S. House seat representing New York on Wednesday, defeating Republican Rep. Marc Molinaro.

Riley, an attorney, first faced Molinaro in the 2022 midterm election and narrowly lost to him.

Molinaro was one of several first-term Republicans in New York running for reelection in a district that Democrat Joe Biden carried in the 2020 presidential election.

The 19th district stretches from the Hudson Valley to the Finger Lakes, and includes parts of Sullivan and Ulster counties.

The Associated Press declared Riley the winner at 1:17 a.m. EST.
