Republican candidates across New York suffered big losses on Election Night. The GOP stronghold of Staten Island tossed out the city's lone Republican representative in Washington. Democrat Max Rose will take Dan Donovan's place in Congress.

In upstate New York, two other congressional districts turned blue.

Republican Congressman Chris Collins is hanging on to his seat by a thread as votes are still being counted.

Then there's the State Senate. Democrats picked up eight seats, sending Republicans into the minority.

Republicans lost races for governor, attorney general and state comptroller. And Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand easily beat her Republican challenger.

Ed Cox is the chairman of the New York State Republican party. He says he is convinced Democratic rule in Albany will end badly, ushering in a new wave of Republicans.

“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and they have absolute power,” Cox said.

It wasn't always like this. Before Mayor de Blasio entered City Hall, we had Michael Bloomberg. He initially ran for office as a Republican and held the mayoralty for 12 years. Before him, there was two-term Republican mayor Rudy Giuliani. And not so long ago, New Yorkers put a Republican Governor in the statehouse. George Pataki served three terms.

There is a glimmer of hope among some Republicans that a GOP candidate could win the upcoming special election for Public Advocate here in the city. It's a non-partisan race, which means in a crowded field a lone Republican could potentially pull off a win.
