Incumbent Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., defeated his longtime colleague Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., in Tuesday’s Democratic primary race for New York’s newly-drawn 12th Congressional District, NBC News projects.

He’s nearly guaranteed in November’s general election to win the heavily Democratic district, which merged Manhattan’s Upper West Side and Upper East Side into one.

Polls released ahead of the primary election showed Nadler had the edge. An Emerson College survey released last Thursday found 43% of eligible voters supported him, compared to 24% for Maloney. Fourteen percent said they supported the other Democratic contender, Attorney Suraj Patel, while 19% were still undecided.

The two New Yorkers were both elected to Congress in 1992, serving in the House for more than 30 years. Both hold major roles in Democratic leadership. Nadler chairs the powerful House Judiciary Committee, where he oversaw the proceedings for both impeachments of former President Donald Trump.

5. Glad we still have Rep Nadler but

I was glad to have Rep. Maloney on our side. Hope she can get back to Congress.

9. She can also contribute in many other ways - both locally & nationally. Her blaming sexism, etc.

isn't going to help Dems. It was inevitable Nadler was going to win given his prominence on the House Judiciary Committee past couple years, esp'ly on the J6 committee.

7. Maloney is IMHO a FAR BETTER THINKER and way quicker on her feet

than Nadler.

This is EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING to me.

Nadler keeps letting RADICAL REPUBLICANS beat him up at committee hearings.

This is bad news.

Maloney is the Democratic fighter we need right now.

11. I have to agree. I'm disappointed she didn't win, for this reason.

Nadler's skillset is sadly lacking for the position he holds as the chair judiciary.

I take it that the redistricting caused this to be a race against the other. I wondered what the fall out results would turn out to be.

and now we see it, sadly.

8. Sure wish Maloney would've won. Nadler is way past his prime.

She's older than he is, bud.

10. Just curious, any ideas on why the voters chose Nadler?
