U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) won the primary race to become the GOP candidate for New York State governor, the Associated Press called on Tuesday night.
At about 10:30 p.m., supporters erupted in cheers and chants of “Zeldin” at Coral House in Baldwin. With 50% of the vote in, he was already well ahead of his three challengers: Former aide to ex-President Donald Trump Andrew Giuliani, former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, and businessman Harry Wilson.
