Alvin Bragg won the Democratic primary for Manhattan District Attorney, defeating Patrick Timmins and moving on to the November general election. About 70% of registered voters in Manhattan are Democrats, which is important for Bragg’s campaign.
Bragg’s campaign highlighted issues such as gun violence, sexual assault and hate crimes, emphasizing his prosecutorial priorities.
His past high-profile cases, including those involving President Donald Trump and Harvey Weinstein, drew national attention.
