Last November, Democratic Congressman Max Rose rode the blue wave that swept across New York and New Jersey and picked up a seat in New York City's most conservative district. The 11th covers Staten Island and part of south Brooklyn – territory where President Trump won by a significant margin.
And in 2020, Rose will have to defend his seat with the President on the top of the ticket. Jeff Coltin, a reporter with City & State New York joins us to talk about how difficult Rose's reelection will be. Driving the point home, his latest piece is titled, "Max Rose Versus The World."
Speaking with David Furst, Coltin says the 11th District is still "Trump country."
"The president's support has gone down slightly since he was elected. But he's still at about 50% - about half of Staten Islanders like the guy," said Coltin. "That's gonna make it very tough."
