On Tuesday, New Yorkers soundly rejected Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) in an incumbent vs. incumbent matchup between her and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) following redistricting that shook up the map.
Nadler is the chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and was one of the top “impeachment managers” during the two failed convictions of 45th President Donald Trump.
Maloney knocked Nadler as “senile” while on the campaign trail.
“I think that you should read the editorial in the NY Post today. They call him senile. They cite his performance at the debate where he couldn’t even remember who he impeached. He said he impeached Bush,” said the congresswoman who chairs the U.S. House Oversight Committee.

NBC News called the race around 20 minutes after the polls closed at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Maloney now has been defeated, dealing a crippling blow to the long-time representative who has been in Congress since 1993 and in public office since 1983 on the New York City Council.
