New York Democratic governor Kathy Hochul managed to turn back a challenge from Republican Lee Zeldin to cling to the governor’s mansion in what had become a competitive race in a Blue-leaning state.
The race tightened in the polls in recent weeks as Zeldin, a U.S. Republican House representative, hammered Hochul on crime and other issues and relied on a Donald Trump endorsement.
NBC called the race for Hochul, and she tweeted she was ‘deeply honored’ to have been elected. She was leading 55-45 with nearly two thirds of the vote in Tuesday night.

In another high-profile race, Democrat Stacey Abrams conceded to Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who bested her four years ago.
The AP had yet to call the race. Abrams took heat during the current election for her post-election comments following her close defeat four years ago.
Former President Donald Trump, who railed against Kemp for his oversight of the 2020 election where Biden defeated Trump, recruited former GOP Sen. David Perdue for the race, but Kemp beat him in the primary.
