Can a Biden Democrat Win the MAGA Curious? Alyssa Cass has the answer for NY Mag

Slingshot partner Alyssa Cass spoke to New York Magazine’s David Freedlander about the state of the NY-03 special election and how Democrats can win over Long Islanders who are growing increasingly MAGA-curious.

The Pilip-Suozzi race is showing the contours of the broader campaign that will play out over the next nine months, according to Alyssa Cass, a Democratic strategist working to help flip the House.

“New York has always been the home of moderate, Rockefeller-style Republicans, but the strain of Republicanism that has grown out on Long Island is intense, it is angry, it is frustrated. And the reasons people are frustrated are really real,” she said. “It is schools, it is quality of life, it is cost of living. And then you pair that with a crime increase during and after the pandemic and a New York City tabloid culture that is pumping breathless and hysterical headlines into the district. This is going to give us a lot of clues about what Democrats need to do in November.”
