New York’s sprawling 19th Congressional District in the Hudson Valley and Southern Tier is considered one of the most competitive seats in the nation. The Cook Political Report rates it as a "Republican toss-up," which could be good news for the incumbent, first-term Rep. Marc Molinaro.

 

Molinaro’s challenger is Democrat Josh Riley, an Endicott native and an attorney who served as a policy analyst at the U.S. Department of Labor and as counsel in the U.S. Senate.

 

In 2022, Molinaro squeaked by Riley to win the district by just 1.5%.

Riley joined Capital Tonight host Susan Arbetter to discuss his positions on immigration, abortion and Israel.
