Williams/Gothamist New York's second Primary Day of the summer has come and gone, with voters on Tuesday deciding primary contests for state Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. [Here's what we know this morning]( 1. Goldman declared winner in NY-10, but questions remain about absentee ballots Dan Goldman, a wealthy former prosecutor who took on a crowded field of experienced lawmakers in the newly drawn 10th congressional district, celebrated his victory hours before The Associated Press [called the race in his favor](. But his closest competitor, Manhattan Assemblymember Yuh-Line Niou, refused to concede until all the votes are counted. Goldman held a lead of 1,300 votes based on the [unofficial election night returns]( which include the votes cast during early voting, Primary Day and absentee ballots processed by the city Board of Elections through last Friday. But there are an additional 14,000 ballots that are outstanding, some (but not all) of which will be returned. 2. Nadler beats fellow incumbent Maloney, meaning New York City loses clout Rep. Jerrold Nadler won in the contested primary for New York’s 12th congressional district. And [he won big]( taking home more than 50% of the vote in the four-way Democratic race. It means New York City will retain the state’s longest-tenured congressperson, assuming Nadler defeats Republican Michael Zumbluskas in the heavily Democratic district. But it also means New York City will lose 30-year incumbent Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who chairs the influential House Oversight Committee. 3. A Rose v. Malliotakis rematch Democrat Max Rose and Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis pulled off decisive Primary Day victories in the 11th congressional district, which includes Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn. This sets up a rematch in one of the city's few legitimate swing districts, where Rose lost his seat to Malliotakis in 2020 after serving one term in office. 4. Incumbents hold seats It was a good day for incumbents in the New York State Senate — nine Democratic senators who represent New York City faced a primary challenge, and all nine appeared on their way to victory. That includes Sen. Robert Jackson, who faced a challenge from Angel Vasquez in the 31st Senate District, which includes Upper Manhattan and part of the Bronx. Vasquez was backed by Mayor Eric Adams and Rep. Adriano Espaillat. And with 99% of scanners reporting in the 33rd Senate District, Bronx Sen. Gustavo Rivera held a lead of about 600 votes over Miguelina Camilo, who had [the backing of the Bronx Democratic establishment](. 5. Bad night for Adams Mayor Eric Adams couldn’t hit his marks on Primary Day, backing mostly candidates who lost their respective races. Adams officially endorsed moderate Democrat Elizabeth Crowley for the 59th Senate District race over democratic socialist Kristen Gonzalez. Crowley conceded her race, in which she garnered Adams’ endorsement along with support from establishment Democrats. The mayor also picked Rev. Conrad Tillard in the 25th Senate District, who lost to incumbent state Sen. Jabari Brisport. Adams backed candidates he said can identify the reality that public safety has become a main concern. "I think that there's some people, some people in Albany that really are not identifying the reality that is planned out on our streets," Adams said at an unrelated news conference on Monday. "And I need people in Albany that they believe like I do. We need to protect innocent New Yorkers."
