New York | Brooklyn borough president and former New York police captain Eric Adams led the first round of counting in the Democratic mayoral primary, seizing a crucial advantage with a focus on law enforcement in a crime- and pandemic-battered city.
With nearly all the precincts reporting early on Wednesday, Mr Adams had about 31 per cent of the vote, followed by civil rights lawyer Maya Wiley with 22 per cent and former city Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia with about 20 per cent.
