If I was the NY Democratic Party, what I would work to do is make one less ultra-blue NYC district (because NY lost a district, largely I believe because of NYC), and convert the 1st (the R+6 Long Island district, being vacated by Zeldin) and 11th (Malliotakis' R+7 Staten Island seat) into blue seats (and give Garbarino a redder 2nd that takes in the reddest portions of the current NY01 and NY02). Out west I'd actually leave Tenney, Jacobs, and Stefanik alone; instead, I would go after Katko and focus on shoring up Delgado and to a lesser extent (S.P.) Maloney, as well as perhaps making Suozzi's seat a point or two bluer just to play it safe.
NY lost a district, but entirely not because of NYC, which grew faster than the country 2010-2020. Some of the NYC districts are actually oversized and have to shrink a bit, even with a district being lost.
Yeah, to be honest this is my fault entirely. I saw NY was losing a district and just assumed it's because muh NYC because it's historically been the key reason NY loses districts, but I should've checked the actual statistics first. My apologies.
