NBC News reports:
Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., won New York’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, NBC News projected. Zeldin defeated a trio of opponents, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s son Andrew Giuliani.
Zeldin had support from much of New York’s Republican establishment while Giuliani had backing from some conservative influencers and Doug Mastriano, Pennsylvania’s GOP gubernatorial nominee. As of 11:10 p.m. E.T., Zeldin held a 20-point lead over Giuliani.

During his concession speech last night, the first person Andrew Giuliani thanked was failed NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, who is arguably most famous for faking his own kidnapping.
In the November general election, Zeldin will face Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who won her primary by 48 points.
Andrew Giuliani loses gubernatorial primary in NY to Lee Zeldin. Junior Giuliani – 36 years old – had touted his ‘five decades’ in politics. In other news, Senior Giuliani apparently asked Trump for a pardon and Rudy appears concerned that he’ll end up in prison.
