From the New York Post: Progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg cruised to re-election Tuesday night, dispatching a pair of challengers despite a series of controversial moves in his first term.
The Associated Press called the race as the Democratic prosecutor snagged 74% of the vote with 81% counted just before 9:50 p.m. to beat out GOP nominee Maud Maron and independent candidate Diana Florence, who both criticized him as soft on criminals.
Bragg, who was first elected in 2021 to replace outgoing DA Cyrus Vance Jr., was heavily favored to keep his seat in the deep blue city even as he faced scrutiny over several decisions, including prosecuting then-candidate Donald Trump for business fraud.
Maron, a former public defender and mom of four, argued her campaign was about restoring justice and safety for law-abiding citizens, while vowing to roll back Bragg’s soft-on-crime policies.
The New York Times pointed out that Bragg, 52, “has held the job since 2022, when he became only the fourth district attorney in 80 years and the first Black person to lead the office.”
