Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Sean Patrick Maloney was
defeated by GOP nominee and State Assemblyman Mike Lawler in a historic
House loss in Tuesday's midterm election.

Lawler, who ran heavily on crime and the economy, will unseat the longtime
congressman who was first elected in 2013, The Associated Press projects.

"I think he took it for granted." Lawler said in an interview with Fox
News Digital on Wednesday. "As recently as a month ago he was traveling to
Paris, London and Geneva to raise money for the DCCC. He did not start
campaigning seriously in the district until a couple of weeks ago."

Maloney has come under fire in recent days for suggesting that families
struggling with the impacts of inflation eat Chef Boyardee.

These comments come on the heels of Maloney's frequent trips to high-end
European cities over the summer to raise money for House Democrats.

Lawler made crime a key focus of his campaign, running in a district where
over half of the households have a cop, veteran or first-responder living
in them, according to Lawler.

Despite this big-ticket win, the upset was one of only a handful House
pickups for Republicans on a night where many political analysts and polls
predicted a "red wave." The balance of power in the House is still in play
with many races still uncalled.

Lawler still believes it is feasible to tamp down inflation and address
crime, despite a potentially slim Republican majority in the House. A
"majority is a majority," Lawler said.

"You have to be able to find compromise, and you have to be able to work
across the aisle," said Lawler, who will soon be representing a district
in Congress with 70,000 more Democrats than Republicans.
