Key NY Races: Betting Market Forecasts Victors
In New York's anticipated congressional primaries, bettors are placing their bets on the potential victors of four closely watched races. Notably, three of these races feature candidates supported by the city's socialist Mayor.
One such race involves Adriano Espaillat, a five-term incumbent representative, who is predicted to have a 57% likelihood of securing re-election. His key challenger is Darializa Avila Chevalier, a Democratic socialist insurgent supported by the mayor, who holds a 45% chance of victory. Their battle takes place in the 13th House district, encompassing northern Manhattan and parts of The Bronx.
Predictions for Other Key Contests
In another race, Claire Valdez, a Democratic assemblywoman and another candidate backed by the Mayor, has an impressive 83% predicted likelihood of winning. She is up against Antonio Reynoso, the Brooklyn Borough President, who is thought to have an 18% chance of succeeding the retiring representative in the Brooklyn-Queens District 7.
Brad Lander, a former city comptroller and mayoral candidate, is another candidate forecasted to win, with a staggering 99% chance of victory. He is running in the affluent 10th congressional district, which includes parts of brownstone Brooklyn and lower Manhattan. His only competition is a two-term incumbent, who holds a meager 1% chance of winning. Lander is also a candidate backed by the Mayor.
In the 12th District, covering the Upper East and West Sides of Manhattan, Micah Lasher, a city assemblyman, is seen as the likely successor to the retiring representative, with a 59% chance of winning. His competitors include Assemblyman Alex Bores, with a 43% chance of winning, and the grandson of a former U.S. president, who holds a mere 1% predicted chance of victory.
Other Races to Watch
While these four crucial congressional primaries have captured the attention of bettors, there are other House races that merit attention, such as:

Other Races to Watch
While these four crucial congressional primaries have captured the attention of bettors, there are other House races that merit attention, such as:
- The fierce Republican primary to replace the retiring representative in CD 21. This race pits the CEO of Sticker Mule, endorsed by a former President, against a candidate supported by the New York Republican establishment and the state Conservative Party. The outgoing representative has yet to back a successor.
- The Democratic primary to challenge the Republican representative in Hudson Valley's CD 17 in the general election. The front-runners are a Rockland County legislator and an Army veteran who served as a counterterrorism official under a former President. The latter candidate is perceived as a significant threat due to her military background, prompting already some attacks from the Republicans.
