Dan Goldman, the former federal prosecutor and Trump impeachment lawyer who flooded the Democratic race for New York’s 10th Congressional District with his own cash, was declared the winner of the primary early Wednesday morning.
The Associated Press called the chaotic race at 12:39 a.m., about two hours after Goldman declared victory at his election night party. He scored about 26% of the vote in a sprawling field, according to incomplete Board of Elections data.
Goldman, 46, presented himself as a guardian of democracy and the rule of law on his path to victory in the newly drawn district, which covers lower Manhattan and sections of brownstone Brooklyn.
