Attorney George Conway, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project and one of the country’s most prominent critics of President Trump, lost his bid for a Manhattan congressional seat Tuesday, finishing fifth in a Democratic primary that saw New York Assemblyman Micah Lasher emerge as the front-runner to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler.
With 94% of scanners reporting, Mr. Lasher led the eight-candidate field with 39% of the vote, followed by fellow Assemblyman Alex Bores at 35%, Jack Schlossberg at about 11% and Nina Schwalbe at about 7%. Mr. Conway drew roughly 6% of the vote, landing in fifth place.
The Associated Press called the race at 10:08 p.m. Mr. Lasher, who had been endorsed by the outgoing Mr. Nadler, will be the Democratic nominee when voters from Chelsea to the Upper West and Upper East Sides choose a new congressional representative in November.
To think, Conway spent $6M on his campaign and got 6,177 votes in return. Indeeed, he really thought his one-note, vile TDS would win him a seat in Congress, in a Democrat party Conway just joined out of spite for Trump. Because as he displayed in the primary debate the other day, Conway knew little about policies and frankly speaking didn't care to learn about them. TDS aside tho, I'm convinced that Conway will never get over Trump reneging on giving him the Solicitor General job back in 2017--a job that if everything had went well might've led to a Supreme Court nomination for Conway later on down the road. Nonetheless, despite his humiliating loss, going forward Conway will still be a staple on MSNOW, Bluesky and any anti-Trump, Resistance podcast needing an online darling of the Left to spew nothing but hate on the President.
