Primary day has ended in New York, as the polls have closed in the first of two summer contests, with voters turning out Tuesday to select their respective party nominees for governor, lieutenant governor and state Assembly seats.
On the Democratic side, the Associated Press called the race for Governor Kathy Hochul just after 9:35 p.m., winning her first test in a quest for her first, full term in office. She defeated two challengers: Queens/Long Island Congressman Tom Suozzi and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.
