Rep. Max Rose (D-N.Y.) conceded his House race against Republican challenger Nicole Malliotakis on Thursday, paving the way for the GOP to retake one of the most competitive districts in the nation.
Malliotakis, a member of the New York State Assembly, is also poised to join the growing number of Republican women who won election to the House this year.
Rose said in a statement that he had called Malliotakis to congratulate her on winning the race, while vowing "a smooth transition."
The congressman faced an uphill battle for reelection to a second term in the Staten Island-based district, which President Trump won by nearly 10 points in 2016.
