Nov 3, 2026

The WIVB segment reports on Congressman Tim Kennedy's re-election victory in New York's 26th Congressional District on November 3, 2026. It plays audio from his victory speech in which he discusses making Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House, holding accountable those in Washington, restoring healthcare and food security, creating jobs in Buffalo and Western New York, and congratulating Governor Holcomb on his victory. The coverage relies on Kennedy's own remarks with no named outside experts or opposing viewpoints. Graphics or additional data on vote margins are not detailed in the transcript, though the station's accompanying article cites the Associated Press call and preliminary tallies showing Kennedy over 65%.
