And joining us to break down some of those results this morning, yeah, associate provost at Farmingdale State College, Chris Malone. Chris, thanks so much for waking up early and getting here today to talk to us. Let's just get right into the Nassau Republicans big night for them, a big night for incumbents in that county. That's right. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Uh, the old guard, uh, one here in, in Nassau County and, and pretty much across Long Island, and I, I really think it, it continues a trend for the Republicans that began in 2021. Uh, and continues, uh, through 2025. The Republicans have had a good four year run, and it continued last night. Now we know the early voter turnout in Manhattan, it was historic. Are we surprised by the voter turnout here on Long Island? No, I don't think so. I think that the turnout was as predicted voters are engaged, and I think that's due to what's happening in New York City. I think it's what's happening locally and what's happening nationally with President Trump's election last year. Speaking of Manhattan, the city, Zoran Mamdani, a winner of New York City. Mayor, now what if anything the impact for Long Islanders? Well, I think, uh, in Hempstead, for instance, John Ferretti said that there's a red line between, uh, Nassau County and New York City. I think, uh, Mom Donnie is going to be a foil for Long Island for the next 4 years and maybe beyond. Uh, he'll be a foil for Donald Trump, uh, and. I think that that's the impact that uh the mom Donnie victory last night will have for most of the Long Island Republicans at least um and uh you'll see that play out over the next several years at least. We saw nationwide it was definitely blue across the country last night. The two opened governor seats. They went blue, but not, not in Long Island, very much a different story here. Yeah, it's very interesting. It's almost as if New York City, Virginia. Uh, New Jersey, even California ran against Donald Trump and Long Island ran against New York City, uh, so, um, there, there are many dynamics at work here across the country and locally, um, but clearly, uh, Long Island remained red if you will, uh, with a couple of. Exceptions, but um it's clear that New York City will have the elections there will have an impact on Long Island and it'll certainly have an impact on the White House and Donald Trump is paying attention certainly. Oh, he is. We will see. Associate provost of Farmingdale State College Chris Malone, thanks so much for joining us this morning. Thanks.
