District is NE Queens and North Nassau. Lots of Asians and Jewish folks neither of whom typically vote for Republicans of any sort. Santos’ win in 2022 was a midterms fluke for that district.
Also winning in fluke outcomes in 2022 to one extent or another in NY were D’Esposito, Lawler, Molinaro and Williams, aside from Santos.
All but Molinaro (maybe) have an excellent chance to get the boot in 2024.
Especially when you factor in the upcoming screw-Republicans-to-the-wall gerrymander that the Democrats are about to force through. They will probably try to get Malliotakis too, and the Suffolk County guys (Lalota, Garabino) are not necessarily perfectly safe either.
