If Republicans manage to eke out a majority in the House of Representatives this year, they’ll have New York to thank for it.

GOP candidates have won at least 10 critical Empire State House races – putting the Democratic stronghold in a position to help Republicans retake control of Congress.

The GOP candidates flipped a net of four House seats in New York, including the one held by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney — as the party closed in on its largest share of the state’s congressional delegation in two decades.

“New York is the state that provided the Republicans the House gavel,” Suffolk County Republican Party Chairman Jesse Garcia told The Post on Wednesday.

With one race still yet to be called Wednesday, the Republicans’ strong showing in the suburbs helped the party win at least 10 of the 26 seats the Empire State will have in Congress next year – up from the seven they have in what’s now a 27-seat delegation.

In a major upset, Maloney — one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress who had led his party’s bid to retain control of the House — was beaten by Republican Mike Lawler.

Maloney’s loss in the Hudson Valley cemented his fate as the first active DCCC chairman in 40 years to be ousted from his seat.

On Long Island, Republican Anthony D’Esposito won in a congressional district that hasn’t sent a GOP candidate to Washington in two decades. D’Esposito, a retired NYPD detective, defeated Democrat Laura Gillen in the fight for the 4th District seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice.

D’Esposito’s fellow Long Island GOPer George Santos flipped retiring Rep. Tom Suozzi’s seat by defeating Democrat Robert Zimmerman to become the first openly gay Republican member of Congress.

And Republican Marc Molinaro was victorious in the new 19^th congressional district that was vacated by Democratic Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado. Molinaro, a Dutchess County executive, defeated Democrat Josh Riley to secure the seat.

Meanwhile, State GOP Party Chair Nick Langworthy secured a win in the Republican-held 23^rd district and Republican Nick LaLota to keep Lee Zeldin’s NY-1 House seat in GOP hands.

Republican Navy veteran Brandon Williams was holding onto a narrow lead over Democrat Francis Conole Wednesday afternoon in the race to succeed retiring GOP Rep. John Katko in NY-22.

Williams declared victory late Tuesday but the race still hadn’t officially been called as of Wednesday.

In addition to the new arrivals, four incumbent Republicans — Andrew Garbarino (NY-2), Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), Elise Stefanik (NY-21) and Claudia Tenney (NY-24) — were all reelected to their House seats.

Garcia, the Suffolk County Republican Party chair, pinned the GOP’s success on Zeldin’s strong performance as the Republican gubernatorial candidate.

“Those House victories are a direct result of the coattails that Lee Zeldin provided,” he said.

Rep. Stefanik, who is the House Republican Conference Chairwoman and campaigned across the state, echoed that sentiment.

“Make no mistake: New Yorkers flipped the House,” Stefanik said in a statement. “Last night New York Republicans saved America by ending failed one-party Democrat rule in Washington.”

“For months, I promised that New York would be where Republicans would earn back the House majority and that’s exactly what happened last night,” she added.

Despite the strong performances, Democrats held onto statewide office, with Kathy Hochul reelected as governor and Letitia James brought back as state attorney general.

But a Democratic strategist involved in the Empire State’s House competitive races said Hochul’s poor performance sunk their own candidates.

“Hochul was a drag on the ticket. Hochul was an anchor on Long Island and the Hudson Valley — and not in a good way,” the strategist told The Post.

The source said Zeldin and the GOP candidates’ disciplined focus on attacking Dems on the unpopular cashless bail law amid voter angst over rising crime put liberal candidates on the defensive.

“It wasn’t until the last few weeks of the campaign that Hochul pivoted to address crime,” the source added. 

Democrats also appeared to be hurt badly by the collapse of their efforts to gerrymander the boundaries of New York’s congressional districts that could have given the party an advantage.

The courts tossed out the Democrats’ redistricting plan for the House — called the Hochulmander — saying it unlawfully skewed the map against Republicans.
