In the 2020 House race for NY-15, Ritchie Torres (D) won with 88.7% of the vote, defeating Patrick Delices (R) who received 9.9%. 3 additional candidates split the remaining vote. Ritchie Torres's 78.8-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Jose E. Serrano (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties.

The wide margin suggests this district is firmly in the Democrat column for the foreseeable future.
