Deal Could Flip New York Senate to Democrats

“An offer is on the table to reunite the mainline Senate Democrats and the Independent Democratic Conference as the new State Senate majority,” City & State reports.

“If the deal is accepted by all of the parties involved it would instantly bring about a profound sea change in New York politics, potentially deposing the Senate Republicans from power next session and moving the state farther to the left. It would also open up the possibility for a slew of progressive legislation to pass that has been stymied up to date as a result of opposition from the State Senate Republicans.”
