'LIVE RESULTS: New York holds high-stakes congressional primaries and 2 special elections'
New York is holding a slew of hotly-contested congressional primaries on Tuesday, featuring messy games of political musical chairs and internal Democratic Party fights partly spurred on by the redrawing of the state's political lines.
A protracted court battle over New York's new maps for Congress and state legislature led to two separate primary days. The primary for state-level offices and state Assembly occurred in June, and primaries for congressional and state Senate seats are being held on August 22.
On Long Island, several Republicans are vying to succeed GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is running for governor. Crowded slates of Democrats are running for open seats in the 3rd District, vacated by Rep. Tom Suozzi, who unsuccessfully ran for governor, and the safely-Democratic 4th District, vacated by retiring Rep. Kathleen Rice.
In Upper Manhattan, longtime incumbent Jerry Nadler defeated fellow top House Democrat Carolyn Maloney in New York's 12th Congressional District, which unifies the Upper West and Upper East sides of Manhattan into one seat.
