New York Midterm Results: Hochul Wins Reelection, 17th District Race Still Unresolved

New York voters decided several high-profile races on Tuesday. CBS News projected that incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul has won reelection, defeating Nassau County Executive and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman. Attorney General Letitia James is also seeking reelection, though no projection has been made in that contest.

Among the most closely watched congressional races is New York's 17th District, where Republican incumbent Mike Lawler faces Democrat Cait Conley. CBS News has not yet projected a winner, but Lawler said Tuesday night that he called Conley to congratulate her. Final results in the race are expected to be delayed after ballot scanner problems were reported across Westchester County.

New York voters also weighed in on five New York City Charter Amendments, covering topics ranging from streamlining the use of public space to requiring contributions to the city's rainy day fund. Races for the State Senate, State Assembly, and New York Supreme Court were also on the ballot.
