Eric Adams was pronounced the winner of New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday after preliminary final numbers showed the centrist won 50.5 percent of the vote.
The Associated Press called the race for Adams after the results showed he narrowly defeated former sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia by 8,426 votes. Garcia received 49.5 percent after eight rounds of voting.
Adams, a former police captain, beat out a crowded field in New York’s first major race to use ranked-choice voting.
If elected, Adams would become the city’s second black mayor. As Democrats outnumber Republicans by 7-to-1 in New York City, according to the AP, Adams will be the likely victor of the general election.
The results come two weeks after voting in the primary ended, on June 22. While early returns showed Adams in the lead, tens of thousands of absentee ballots had to be counted and rounds of tabulations has to be done under the ranked-choice system in which voters ranked up to five candidates for mayor in order of preference.

There is a secret about the African-American community the press will never tell you: many of them are pro-gun, pro-life, pro-police, and pro-free markets.
For historical reasons these conservative Blacks vote Democrat.
It is an important part of the Dems success. Biden is hopeless, but he was by far the best option for the Democrats to win in 2020. Without the conservative Black vote participating in the Democratic primaries they would have elected a radical socialist like Bernie Sanders.
If Deep State had a lock on voters it wouldn’t have to steal elections.
Advocating for an armed ruling class isn't quite the same thing as advocating for the Second Amendment.
I agree he's better than Mayor Warren Wilhelm, but so much damage has been done to NYC over the last 8 years that it's irreparable at this point.
