"The incumbent Tom swazi, a Long Island congressman, and jumani Williams, the city's public advocate. Now, for Republicans, it's a four way race between rob estreno, the former Westchester county executive, Andrew Giuliani, some son of former mayor Rudy Giuliani, and a former adviser to president Trump. Harry Wilson, a business turnaround expert, and Lee zeldin, a congressman from Long Island. Now, down below voters choose candidates for lieutenant governor, competitive for both parties? No, Michael, it's actually just a race for Democrats this time. The three lieutenant governor candidates are Antonio Delgado, who is the very recent incumbent running with governor hochul, Diana reyna, who's running with swazi and Anna Maria archila who's running with Williams. Now, even though I noted the candidates have running mates in this primary, they're not actually on the same ticket that means voters need to pick a candidate for governor and a candidate for lieutenant governor in the democratic primary, and that also means they, at the end, we could end up with a winner at the top of the ticket who did not campaign with the winning lieutenant governor nominee. That is certainly a storyline. We'll be keeping an eye on tonight. On the Republican side, there's no lieutenant governor contest, Allison esposito is running on a posed currently campaigning with Lee zeldin, but she too could end up as someone else's running mate if he does not win the nomination. How many other contests will vote is fine on this ballot? Well, that depends a little bit on your party and where you live. This is also the primary for state assembly races. There may also be judicial contests and party positions happening within your district that includes

"Employment. It's morning edition on WNYC, Michael hill. Today is primary day in New York and polls are open right now until 9 o'clock tonight. Registered Democrats and registered Republicans can pick their nominees for governor and others offices. Joining us now with what you need to know before you head out is WNYC's senior political correspondent, Bridget Bergen, Bridget good morning. Good morning, happy primary day. Yes, it is. A long one, right? Oh yeah. Let's start. Let's start with the quick recap here. We mentioned the governor's race, who is on the ballot today. So, Michael on the democratic side, voters can choose between Kathy hochul the incumbent, Tom swazi, a Long Island congressman in jumani Williams, the city's public advocate. For Republicans, it's a four way race between rob esterina, rob astorino, former Westchester county executive. Andrew Giuliani, some of the former mayor Rudy Giuliani and a former adviser to president Trump. Harry Wilson, a businessman, and Lee zeldin, a another congressman from Long Island. Now down ballot voters choose candidates for lieutenant governor, competitive for both parties? No, it's just a race for Democrats this time, Michael. The three lieutenant governor candidates are Antonio Delgado, who's the very recent incumbent running with governor hochul, Diana reyna, who's running along with swazi and Anna Maria archila who's running with Williams. Now, even though I noted the candidates have running mates in this primary, they're not actually on the same ticket, voters have to choose a gubernatorial candidate and a lieutenant governor candidate, but what that means is we could end up with a winner at the top of the ticket who did not actually campaign with the winning lieutenant governor nominee. That's certainly one of the storylines we're going to be keeping an eye on tonight. And as I mentioned, there's no Republican lieutenant governor contest. Alison esposito is running unopposed currently campaigning with congressman zeldin, but she too could end up as someone else's running mate if he doesn't win the nomination. How many other contests will voters find on their ballots? So that depends a bit on which part of your registered in and where you live. This is also the primary day for state assembly races. There may be judicial contests and party positioning positions happening in your district. Those are positions like state committee and county committee in district leader. You can confirm both your primary day poll site and see your sample ballot by visiting the website, find my pool site dot vote dot NYC. Early voting wrapped up on Sunday as we reported here, what do we know about turnout so far in these races? Well, Michael, there are way more eligible voters than people who have gone to the polls so far. Now, according to data from the New York State board of elections because of course this is a statewide primary. 178,221 people voted early. Statewide. And that includes nearly 86,900 voters here in the city. Now that is out of. Nearly 8 and a half million eligible voters statewide. So we are talking about roughly 2% voter turnout for early voting when you combine eligible active Democrats and Republicans. But of course, this is only early voting. Still, though, that sounds low. Yeah, it is certainly not good. A few caveats, this is the first time we've had a primary for governor in June and the first time we've had early voting for it. In 2018, the gubernatorial primary was in September when we used to have statewide primaries, and early voting had not taken effect yet. So we don't really have a great apples to apples comparison for these elections. Now on top of that in recent years, we haven't had the primaries where state assembly and state Senate races were on different dates. Remember, we've got that second summer primary coming up in August thanks to the whole redistricting mess, right? So that being said, the turnout for the democratic gubernatorial primary in 2018 was more than 25%, so we have a lot of ground to make up today to get near that number. Now, we mentioned that there are assembly primaries on the ballot today. Where has the turnout been highest in those races? So Michael, this is really, this is kind of cool. I requested some data from the New York City board of elections to understand what turnout has been like by assembly district. Now, according to that data, a couple of things to note first, the top 5 assembly districts with the highest overall turnout, four of those districts actually don't have an assembly primary at all. So we're talking about Daniel O'Donnell's district on the upper west side in Manhattan valley, Joanne simons district in Brooklyn heights to park slope, Linda Rosenthal's district on the upper west side, and Bobby Carroll's district in prospect heights and park slope. These are areas where voters tend to turn out in higher numbers to begin with. We've seen in previous elections. Early voting shows they're doing it again. Now, district where there is actually an assembly primary turnout has been the highest. This is also very interesting in Manhattan. It's the 76th assembly district. That's the upper east side of Manhattan at Pitts incumbent Rebecca seawright against Patrick bobbling. In Brooklyn, the busiest assembly district with a primary is the 57th in fort Greene and Clinton hill and a few other neighborhoods. That's the race between incumbent Ferris du front forest and olancha lobby, another race that will be interesting to watch in The Bronx, it's the 82nd district, which includes parts of throgs necks and city island in east Bronx, and that is a three way matchup between longtime incumbent Michael Benedetto, AOC backed Jonathan Soto and algernon quail bomb. That's where the highest turnout has been in the district for a early voting primary so far. In Queens, it's in the 32nd district in southeast queens where long serving member of Vivian cook is facing a challenge from Anthony Andrews junior and of course in Staten Island. It's a Republican assembly primary. That's in district 63 between Sam, and Paul certina junior. Now I should note the incumbent in that race, Democrat Michael Cusick does not face a primary challenge. Also, there are lots of other races to watch, but these just happen to be the districts where turnout so far has been the highest during early voting alone. Bridget about a minute left, we know the voters often face issues at poll sites on election day. What should they do if they encounter an issue? Well, first Michael, I want to remind our listeners. This is a big change in the law. If you

"Let's start with the city budget deal that came out on Friday It wasn't technically due until the end of this month So why so early in any key takeaways That's right Michael According to mayor Adams it's a city of yes And so at least that's how we characterize this ahead of schedule announcement He talked about working with city council speaker Adrian Adams in finance committee chair Justin brannon to reach this $101 billion budget agreement I think in terms of the politics there's two things going on here for one this is a largely new council along with a new administration so really there are fewer burned bridges at this point so to speak Also because of city council redistricting that's happening now the members are all up for reelection next year while the mayor won't be so there's a real incentive for everyone to show that they can actually get something done Now in terms of what this budget contains there's lots to unpack here of course my colleagues Liz Kim began breaking it down on Friday of note The city is expanding the summer youth jobs program and instituting dyslexia screenings in correctional facilities and public schools but schools themselves are actually taking a hit Mayor Adams tried to push back on that characterization said they were just adjusting budgets based on drops and student enrollment but there was an immediate response from city controller Brad lander and others warning that this was the wrong approach We should also note that mayor Adams didn't get everything he wanted including nearly 600 new corrections officers He wanted to hire them Of course more details on all of this still to come but things are on the fast track The council is actually scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. tonight to officially vote on the package Last week Bridget we previewed the democratic gubernatorial debate tonight the Republicans running for governor get their chance What can you tell us about that debate Well once again it's going to be on WCBS channel two news radio 8 80 at 7 p.m. There will be three candidates in studio Only one permitted to participate virtually as you have been talking about this morning Long Island Congress member Lee zeldin who is the backing of the state party former Westchester county executive rob astorino and businessman Harry Wilson are all supposed to be there in person but Andrew Giuliani son of former mayor and former adviser to president Trump is only allowed to attend virtually because of his vaccination status so COVID vaccinations and mandates are inevitably going to get some discussion assuming the event goes forward Former president Trump who has been doling out endorsements in other midterm primaries across the country country is also likely to loom large He has an endorsed in this race It's unclear if he will and given how poorly Trump has performed statewide in the last two elections it's unclear how much these candidates are seeking his support will get a better sense of that tonight Also since we're in a wait and see mode on those two major U.S. Supreme Court decisions on the future of abortion access and the right to carry concealed weapons the candidates are likely to be asked to weigh in on those issues too And there is also a democratic debate for lieutenant governor this week not now even though these LG candidates are running mates with a gubernatorial candidate they run separately in the primary cover That's correct right That's right That's right While the winners of the primary will officially be on a ticket together after the primary for now the Democrats need to choose their own LG candidate which means you could potentially end up with a candidate at the top of the ticket and an LG candidate who were not running together before the primary are Albany reporter John Campbell's going to unpack this some more this week but for now the choice will be between Anna Maria Archie a progressive activist who is running with New York City advocate excuse me New York City public advocate shimane Williams Diana reyna a former deputy borough president Eric Adams and former city council member She's the running mate of congressman Tom swazi from Long Island and finally there's Antonio Delgado the state's new lieutenant governor who is tapped after Hogan's first pick Brian Benjamin resigned facing a corruption scandal and their only debate will be on spectrum news New York one on Wednesday night The assembly primaries will also be on that June primary ballot Those districts were also subject to redistricting and another court just weighed in late last week with some future implications for those races What happened there So a judge ruled that those lines were also unconstitutional Michael but he said it was too late to redraw them for this year's election So the assembly lines will stand but a judge will have to redraw them ahead of the next election in 2024 Now last week you mentioned that there were changes.

"And I think because of that just as it was with myself and Elliott spitzer he will play more of a role as a partner as opposed to a lieutenant governor who usually has no role Hope will didn't have much of a role and so did most other lieutenant governors Lieutenant governors are allowed to buy paper clips and that's about it And sometimes they're even allowed to use them And the other thing is that he will now run in the primary with hoku but they're not joined like a president and vice president He has to run on his own against two other candidates and his problem is that his name is not known in New York City at all Fortunately the governor's raised enough money that I think if she includes in him and her commercials that people will get to know him very quickly And they will respect it Common sense individual Give us a rundown of all the other candidates Tom swazi is running for governor former county executive NASA county and the current congressman there Williams who's the public advocate a charming very decent individual Graduate so you know he's smart is politics of probably two left to win the primary So that's the democratic primaries then over on the Republican side the favorite would be Congress and Lee zeldin from Long Island Rob astorino pretty good friend of mine who was the Westchester county executive He's running Andrew Giuliani who's turning a lot of heads with his goodness and his capacity to represent his point of view And to explain why he is a candidate is in the race and then Harry Wilson was run for other officers has the resources to reach the public but may not have the message So I would think that zeldin would be the winner of the Republican primary and the whole the winner of the Democratic Party then the question is who wins the lieutenant governor situation between Congress and Delgado and former council member Diana reyna and one of the candidate who's running with jiminy Williams that they're supporting each other but they don't go up and down together because lieutenant governor and the governor run separately in the primaries You know we've been waging a war on common sense and decency as far as bail lore of the bail law You feel that the state Senate or the state assembly is getting the message at all No I think first I got to point out that the state Senate and assembly were blamed for the fact that New York State is the only state that doesn't give the judges the right to assess the dangerousness of say a former offender Someone has already been convicted and they get rearrested for a similar crime They didn't do that That happened in the legislature in 1972 And I think they were pretty provoked that they got blamed for it What they were really working on would be situations where somebody gets arrested for something and the bail is like $300 And they just don't have the money to pay it so they wind up sitting in jail for so long that they might have complete guilty They would have gotten out sooner What I think though is that we've got to start approaching these entities The state Senate and assembly and saying to them that we're out of state step with what the other 49 states are doing and the same way they led the way to get rid of bail for people who just didn't have the cash we could also step forward and take leadership so that the judges have a right to make some assessments based on the prior acts of the defendant when they come to a bail hearing Governor you have common sense you should have ran one more time Maybe I shouldn't have God bless you and thank you for everything you've done for New York City and New York State Thank you John Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there Okay happy about this.

"Person with no scandals, Richard rabbit was a real kind of feather and Patterson's cap. You ran the MTA at one point. He helped bail out the city in the 70s from near bankruptcy. So I think she'll do something and it's actually a significant pick, believe it or not, even though the job will only be for like 8 months. No, I think your first instinct there is where I would assume she's going to head, which is, but again, you asking someone to give up a current position for what could be a very short run. So I'm thinking, I haven't looked at who the possible names are or started to talk to sources on this. But I'm thinking, you know, sort of an elder states person of the Latino Hispanic community in New York City is probably where she winds up if she can get anybody to agree to it. And it'll be very interesting to see what they do about the ballot machinations. And if there's some compromises that can be reached or she starts to work with Diana reyna, who's running as a running mate with Tom swazi in some way, you'd think poker wants to avoid Anna Marie who's running with jumani Williams, but we won't get into all those details. Let's just come back for a couple of minutes to the subway shooting mayor Eric Adams in one of the most unbelievable twists of fate is the on the ground first responder mayor and he's stuck in quarantine at Gracie mansion when a major major public safety event occurs in the city. How do you think what kind of challenge does this other than the fact that he's in quarantine for a couple more days at least? But besides that, what kind of challenge does this pose to him and his agenda both on public safety? Getting people back on the subways, revitalizing the economy and so forth. It's all tied together. How are you seeing this right now? Someone pointed out to me on social media how life sometimes imitates art and that if you've seen the first taking of pala one two three, not the second movie, which was horrible, but the first one, how the mayor is like sick with a cold, really bad cold and Gracie mansion when the subway is taken over by terrorists. It's a terrific movie, not a great book, but a great, great movie. And it's got to be driving the real mayor crazy that he's stuck in Gracie mansion as this insane story is unfolding. And that the whole narrative of Eric Adams is that he can save us from the bad guys, and he can't even leave his house. I think he's done the best he can. He's been doing virtual interviews and virtual briefings to a degree. But it really has got to be extremely frustrating for him that since he's been in office for a little more than a hundred days, there have been these incredible high profile crimes that only the least charitable person in the world would put lay on his doorstep. But everything else is compromised if you're a mayor if public safety isn't there. You can have all the.
