Incumbent Democrat Tom Suozzi holds a commanding position in the November 3, 2026, general election for New York’s 3rd congressional district, with prediction markets pricing his victory at 87.5% against Republican challenger Mike LiPetri at 12.5%. Suozzi’s edge stems from his 2024 win over the same opponent by roughly three points, strong name recognition across Nassau and Queens portions of the district, and a record of bipartisan legislative efforts on border security and healthcare affordability. Both candidates cleared their June primaries by wide margins, but forecasters rate the seat as Lean or Likely Democratic due to structural advantages for the sitting member. External spending, including Trump-aligned super PAC ads targeting Suozzi, and union endorsements have not shifted the race into toss-up territory. The outcome hinges on turnout patterns and any late national political developments within the resolution window.
