Donovan, the former Richmond County district attorney, had the support of President Trump and was expected to retain his seat. The district covers Staten Island and portions of Brooklyn, and Donovan was the only Republican congressman in New York City. Rose is a veteran of the Afghanistan War and was wounded in action in 2013.
