Democrats have held on to both U.S. House seats in Rhode Island. Rep. Gabe Amo, the first Black representative in Congress from Rhode Island, won reelection Tuesday. Amo easily beat his Republican challenger Allen Waters in the 1st Congressional District. Last year, Amo beat out a crowded field in a special election to replace a fellow Democrat who stepped down to lead a nonprofit foundation. In the 2nd Congressional District, Rep. Seth Magaziner defeated Republican Steve Corvi. Magaziner is the son of former Clinton administration policy adviser Ira Magaziner. In 2022, Magaziner won the seat vacated by longtime U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin.
