A lefty Brooklyn pol who handily won a high-stakes City Council race earlier this month in a rare battle of two incumbents now has his eyes on Capitol Hill, The Post has learned.
"He beat a somewhat popular [Republican] candidate by nearly 20 points in a district where" fellow Democrats President Biden, Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams "aren't popular, so he's proved he has the political machine and he's good campaigner - but it will all depend on how the lines are drawn, especially in a presidential election year," said Chris Coffey, a Democratic consultant and one-time aide to former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Albany Democrats are expected to take a fresh look at the district lines before next year's race, and many Dems and Republicans anticipate a compromise.
