New York Rep. Tom Suozzi lost the Democratic nomination for governor Tuesday. He had 12 percent of the vote when The Associated Press called the race at 9:25 p.m. Eastern Time.
Gov. Kathy Hochul won the primary with 65 percent of the vote. New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams was second with 22 percent, with an estimated 16 percent of the vote counted. She will face Rep. Lee Zeldin, who won a four-way Republican primary with 43 percent of the vote.
Hochul, who had been lieutenant governor, became the state’s first female governor in August when then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned from office.
