Congress Member Jerry Nadler won a stunning landslide victory in the all-Manhattan 12th Congressional District race, knocking off his House colleague of more than 30 years, Carolyn Maloney.
Meanwhile, the wide-open Democratic primary race for the 10th Congressional District is proving to be the tight contest it was expected to be, with Trump impeachment lawyer Dan Goldman and Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou currently sitting atop the standings, a few hundred votes separating them.
Regarding the 12th District contest, Nadler had a more than 25,000-vote lead over Maloney, with 99% of all scanners counted, according to the New York City Board of Elections.
The two long-term incumbents engaged in a bitter rivalry over the last few months for the 12th District seat after the madcap redistricting process put them in the very same district.
Insurgent Suraj Patel was a distant third.
Despite the sometimes rancorous nature of the primary, Nadler publicly thanked Maloney at his victory party “for her decades of service to our city.” The 75-year-old Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, pledged to return to Capitol Hill “with a mandate to fight for the causes so many of us know to be right,” including abortion access and climate change.
