New York 6/23 Primary Results Megathread

I like Diaz.

I hope he pulls it out.

He is the religious Democrat that Democrats need, he appeals to old world immigrants who come to cities to make it in America, but they still have religious bonds.

Everything you just posted is foolish, worthy of both scorn and ridicule. Pipe down.

Bowmann will win the election in November anyway, but Engel was around too long and like Crowley, was seen as a Democratic centrist establishment figure who took a safe seat for granted like Cantor in 2014.

No, Diaz is sh**t lol

[Storr]

If Torres, Bowman, and Jones all end up winning I consider tonight a success.   

On that note - Engel looks doomed.

Indeed. Interestingly, Maloney looks to be in more trouble than Clarke. I didn't expect that. I guess Upper East Side liberals are hard to predict.

Not city councilman, not former state senator, homophobe. Folks, you love to see it.

Diaz speaks his mind.

Torres, Ydanis would be good congressmen. Like AOC-Crowley, the Democratic primary is tantamount to election.

This looks to be the best night for progressives in a long time, that being said I don't want to speak too soon

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

The real victories will be stopping IDC members Carlucci and Diaz Sr. That entire caucus needs to be dismantled.

[Oryxslayer]

Bronz doesn't realize that NY15 has statistically zero old-world immigrants, it's mostly all New World ones coming from the Caribbean or Latin America. Which is part of the reason he is losing - those views don't match the diverse districts views.

Yep agree - surprising and disappointing. Nothing against Clarke but I'm a big fan of Bunkeddeko. And I really like Maloney.

Bronz's take was a lot more accurate in 1920, not 2020

It would be one thing if Diaz were a socially conservative lefty. I wouldn't vote for him, but you could argue he was representative of a fair proportion of his district and a wider proportion of the population that is largely unrepresented.

However, he is an IDC member. His reactionary rants do not mean he's speaking his mind on everything, such as his corporate leanings.

Why is the first defense for any candidate with s*** views that they " speak their mind"? Who cares if they speak their mind when what they're thinking is homophobic Petty minded trash?

And incidentally, nearly all of us Democrats who are Christians manage to distinguish between Diaz's Neanderthal views and still "have religion", as you so ineloquently put it.

A minor race but I am still intensely baffled by my own CD's Republican primary. Hawatmeh is an eccentric as hell fashion designer but while Van De Water is a late entry I assumed his background in law and the military would make him a shoo-in for the nomination. It's been going back and forth all night. Hawatmeh raised more money but Van De Water has all the endorsements. Either way, it's a lean to likely D seat this year not as competitive as 2018 but jeez! Gonna be an interesting time working on Delgado's campaign this year if she's the nom.

That'd be great news for a marginal seat.

EDIT: just read a newspaper article from a few days ago regarding this race. Vanderwater was outraged buy something like a 12 or 13 to 1 ratio. However, hawatmeh has apparently only spent $50,000 and still has $225,000 on hand for the general election, while vanderwater had only $2,000 left out of the mere 17 grand he raised. That means hawatmeh only outspent vanderwater by about $50,000 to $15,000 for the primary, and is now leading by the skin of her teeth rather than having spent some of that $200,000 she has on hand to secure the primary.

It sounds like she was the total favorite, but has endangered herself from winning what should have been a layup of a primary.

[Babeuf]

Tinderboy doing better than I expected. Though he's probably to Maloney's right Maloney's vaccination views should make her persona non grata in this climate so it'll be annoying if she wins with under 50%.

Things looking really good for Bowman, though.

Coming from someone in this district Patel is not seen as being to Maloney's right. I didn't vote for either of them but he is running as a more left candidate than Maloney.

Also, Jabari Brisport is ahead in his state senate race and Mamdani is ahead in his Assembly race. Would be victories for the NYC DSA.

Adam Schleifer holds narrow 7 vote lead in NY-17 (3606-3599). Most of the vote is currently coming from Rockland where Schleifer leads by 4%. Vote from Westchester is coming in very slowly but Schleifer is currently in 4th place and trails Jones by about 30% (this can't be considered a representative sample though in Westchester).

Thanks, Rockland County updated just after I posted that it seems where Jones retook the lead there.

I know not all of these races will necessarily go the way they're looking now, but man, would AOC, Ritchie Torres, Jamaal Bowman, and Mondaire Jones be such a good Bronx/Westchester squad.

Westchester now reporting in-person early vote, where Jones leads 1916-596 over Schleifer.

In NY-16, Bowman leads Engel 3052-2417.

[Andrew Cuomo is a No Go]

The NYT has AOC winning with -9/449 precincts reporting. Getting a little ahead of themselves in my opinion.

[Oryxslayer]

I mean if we end the night like this in NY17 then Schleifer probably wins given the demographics of those who voted absentee in Westchester.
