This week we recap the results from Primary Night and the candidates now setting their sights on Election Day in November in hopes of filling the open seat in New York's 21st Congressional District.
We sit down with reporters who have been covering the races and candidates for months to talk about the winners and losers from this week's Republican and Democratic primaries, and just which candidates may be on the November ballot. Blake Gendebien won the Democratic primary, while Anthony Constantino won the Republican nomination. Assemblyman Robert Smullen who was defeated in the Republican primary has 10 days to decide whether he will still run in November as the Conservative Party nominee, or if he will give up that line on the ballot to avoid a potential 3-way race with the Republican nominee, Anthony Constantino, and Democratic nominee, Blake Gendebien.
We analyze the primary election results with our panel of journalists, including Pat Bradley with WAMC Public Radio, Cara Chapman with North Country Public Radio, and Alek LaShomb with WCAX-TV.
