Tiffany Cabán, endorsed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, leads Queens district attorney race as opponent Melinda Katz vows recount.
Tiffany Cabán, the progressive public defender whose bid to become Queens district attorney was backed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, declared victory in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, though the New York race was yet to be called by The Associated Press and results are not expected to be finalized for several days.
Rory Lancman, who dropped out of the race last week and endorsed Katz, still received 1,168 votes -- less than the difference between Katz and Cabán. "This race is going to have an immediate and profound effect on the lives of the 2.3 million people in Queens, but I also do see it as having a big national impact," Cabán told ABC News in an interview last week."There's a real opportunity to be a model for what criminal justice reform looks like, especially in larger urban areas."
