Mondaire Jones, Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, Councilwoman Carlina Rivera are among other candidates vying for the open seat. <\/p>\n<p>Republicans are expected to make big gains in the US House based on polling and historic trends though Democrats are hoping to hold their slim majority.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI feel like we are getting just had this endless stream of analysis quote, unquote, analysis telling us just get used to the fact that we\u2019re going to lose in November because of these historical patterns and all and I don\u2019t buy it,\u201d de Blasio said Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Jones, Niou, and Rivera leveraged their records in elected office while making their own case at the six-person forum that also featured former Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman and political newcomer Elizabeth Kim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the ride here, I saw Candace Owens and a bunch of other people on Twitter, blaming and using this attack of this murder of mass murder of children and blaming Trans kids. You can\u2019t make this stuff up. Our communities are under attack,\u201d Niou said, referring to comments by the right-wing firebrand about a recent shooting at a Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Rivera leaned on her love of animals to stick out among the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have passed historic animal legislation in the Council but what some people might not know is that \u2026 I have a 16 year-old pug and I have a 30 year-old turtle,\u201d she said at one point.<\/p>\n<p>Jones currently represents a district north of the city, but opted to run for the 10th Congressional District after fellow Democratic Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney set off an inter-party war by announcing a run in a newly drawn, left-leaning district representing much of Jones\u2019 current district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Republicans] cannot be allowed to take back control of the House of Representatives,\u201d Jones \u2013 one of the first gay, Black men elected to Congress in New York \u2014 told the crowd Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Jones added that his experience on the Hill would help him deliver the bacon to constituents if his party does lose control of the lower chamber this November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the minority, you can still do some things. You can elevate issues \u2026 you can even bring money back to your district, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats ought to get ready for a long fight considering Republicans\u2019 success in moving the U.S. Supreme Court toward the right in recent decades, according to Holtzman, a former city comptroller and Kings County district attorney.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a Supreme Court that wants to take us backwards, that is dismantling the 14th amendment that wants to dismantle women\u2019s rights, gun rights, voting rights. It\u2019s a dangerous situation. So, I want to say, I\u2019m still optimistic, and we can\u2019t give up,\u201d she said.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
