map. there s manhattan, that s about a third of the entire vote here in this primary, kathryn garcia is carrying manhattan and eric adams isn t just losing manhattan, he s getting wiped out in manhattan. what eric adams is doing to offset that, though, is he s winning staten island that s a pretty small amount, winning brooklyn that s 30% of the vote, he s winning queens, he s winning the bronx in a run away, so it s that sort of outer borough strength, that outer borough coalition that is really powering eric adams in this thing. you know, if you sort of slice this even more thinly and you started to look at the neighborhoods here you would see i think pretty clearly a pattern wealthy areas, areas with high concentrations of college degrees in manhattan in particular a kathryn garcia stronghold, she ran in this race with the endorsement of the new york times, i think that s a demographic that the new york times endorsement typically does well with. eric adams is the borough
wnbc poll did not find that there was a substantial advantage in maya wiley s second choice voters for garcia or for adams, they found it was basically even between those candidates and, again, anything approaching even when you re talking about second choice distribution right now is going to help eric adams. what one of these candidates, wylie or garcia is going to need is a tremendous imbalance when you start consolidating through the ranked choice process. again, gap you re looking at here we haven t really seen elections potentially where something like that s been overcome, but, again, we re saying this is a big grand experiment in new york so we will find out. steve, do we know off of last night s results which of the three candidates how did all three of the candidates do in the borough of manhattan? right. the one borough, in fact, i think we have a map here we can show you, let s see. here we go. here is our trusty new york city
choice, this is the bulk of it right here. there is some clarity in these numbers. you can draw a line reit here, andrew yang former presidential candidate early polls in this race showed doing very well, he conceded last night. he is not going to win. anybody south of him on this list does not have any chance of winning this. so already you ve got it down here functionally, functionally the suspense that adams, wylie or garcia. you could draw another line between adams and wylie and garcia. that s a significant lead right now that adams has over wylie and garcia. what we want to watch to see is when i say those mill ballots that will be in in about a week s time that they will begin counting in about a week s time one of these two candidates wylie or garcia, do they have an edge with the mail-in ballots, can they get a little bit closer to eric adams before they begin that extremely complicated ranked choice process? i said that because new york city is the largest jurisdiction to att
about when i go home and this needs to be something that we look at. you know, it s what vladimir putin wants to happen, distrust in our democracy is a national security problem for the united states. and you talked about republicans showing courage. willie, talk about defining political deviancy down, now the definition of courage, now the definition of courage for republicans is to say that joe biden is president of the united states. right. exactly. there s only a handful of them who will even do that in the way you just mentioned. by the way, congresswoman stefanik got a new job because of her willingness to go along with that lie and she gives you the same answer, well, there are a lot of questions about it. we will come back to this. we want to turn to new york s primary race, featured a new ranked choice voting system for democrats. former new york city police captain eric adams is the early leader with 32% of the first choice vote, trailing adam former counsel to mayor bi
ranked choice voting, but it s been around for a while in a number of places. if you look at the history of ranked choice voting when you ve got all of the results for first choice in any election in this country that s done ranked choice voting, the biggest gap that s been overcome by a candidate, a candidate who wasn t leading after they tabulated all the first choice, the biggest gap ever overcome was 9.3%. if you look at right now if i actually put the decimal points on here, maya wiley currently trails eric adams by 9.4%. so that would actually be outside currently just by a touch outside the biggest gap ever overcome in one of these. so that, you know there s suspense, there s uncertainty, this is something new, but that does look like a pretty substantial lead that eric adams has and, in fact, if you break it down five boroughs of new york city i think it s very interesting all but manhattan
