Freshman Conversation: Representative-Elect Nicole Malliotakis, NY-11

Nicole Malliotakis is one of a record number of Republican women who were elected to Congress this fall. She defeated first-term Democratic Congressman Max Rose in New York’s 11th Congressional District, which includes Staten Island and parts of South Brooklyn. In recent weeks, Staten Island has seen an increase in the number of COVID-19 infections and the COVID-19 death rate is now higher there than any other borough in New York City. Here Representative-elect Malliotakis speaks with Politics host Amy Walter about what's happening with the virus in Staten Island, what she thinks is needed in a relief package, and whether or not it's time for President Donald Trump to concede.  Check out our 2020 election coverage here.
