Eric Adams is leading. Andrew Yang has conceded. Kathryn Garcia vowed that the winner will come down the "twos and threes" in ranked-choice voting. Maya Wiley assured her supporters "every single vote will count."
Initial reported results in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary showed Adams with a formidable lead, but it is expected to take weeks before a winner is declared. The votes released on Tuesday night were just the first-choice votes for ballots cast in-person during early voting and on primary day. There are no absentee ballots factored into the results yet because ballots can arrive through the mail until June 29, although they had to be postmarked by Tuesday.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
