AOC-Sanders-backed Buffalo mayoral candidate trails despite June primary win: report
Fox News
Despite support from two nationally known progressives, the party’s far-left mayoral nominee in Buffalo, New York, was defeated Tuesday by the incumbent mayor she defeated in a primary earlier this year.
Brown ran as a write-in candidate after his primary defeat – and write-in ballots were pouring in at a heavy volume, the Buffalo News reported. The development had Brown claiming victory – even though final results may take days or weeks to tabulate.
"The people chose four more years of a Brown administration," Brown told supporters at his campaign headquarters, according to the News. "The people chose one of the greatest comeback stories in our history."
