Daniel Goldman Wins Competitive Race For NY-10 Congressional District

LOWER MANHATTAN, NY — Daniel Goldman, the former prosecutor who took on Donald Trump, was named the winner of the highly competitive and much scrutinized primary race for the vacant District 10 Congressional seat to represent Lower Manhattan and chunks of Brooklyn.

The Associated Press named Goldman the winner in the early hours of Wednesday morning around 12:40 a.m., over close behind candidates Yuh-Line Niou, Mondaire Jones, and Carlina Rivera.

Here's where the vote tally stands Wednesday around 10 a.m, according to NY1.

• Daniel Goldman: 25.8 percent (16,686) - Declared Winner
• Yuh-Line Niou: 23.7 percent (15,380)
• Mondaire Jones: 18.2 percent (11,777)
• Carlina Rivera: 17 percent (10,985)
• Jo Anne Simon: 6.2 percent (3,991)
• Elizabeth Holtzman: 4.4 percent (2,845)
• Jimmy Li: 1.2 percent (777)
• Yan Xiong: 1.1 percent (686)
• Maud Maron: 0.9 percent (578)
• Bill de Blasio: 0.7 percent (477)
• Brian Robinson: 0.5 percent (322)
• Peter Gleason: 0.2 percent (147)
• Quanda Francis: 0.2 percent (121)

"#NY10, from the bottom of my heart, thank you," Goldman wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning. "I am humbled to be your Democratic nominee for Congress. I have immense respect for the other candidates in the field and look forward to working with them to achieve our shared progressive vision for this city and our democracy."

Niou, who finished in a close second place, has not issued a statement Wednesday morning, but did say late Tuesday night she was not conceding before every vote was counted.

Goldman, the first-time candidate, streamed $4 million of his own money into the race and also landed the influential endorsement from the New York Times.

He will now compete in the November General Election to represent all Manhattan blocks under 14th Street and the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Red Hook, Sunset Park, Borough Park, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill and Park Slope.
