According to Polymarket's predictions, Rep. Ritchie Torres's challenger, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's ally, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, is expected to win his primary against Rep. Mondaire Jones. Additionally, Polymarket is predicting victories for Eric Adams' allies, Rep. Brad Lander and Rep. Robert Lasher's challenger, Rep. Yuh-Line Niou's ally, Rep. Ritchie Torres's challenger, Rep. Yuh-Line Niou, and Rep. Robert Lasher, and also for Rep. Karina Valdez in the NY State Senate.
