Former federal prosecutor Alvin Bragg opened up a lead in the Democratic primary for Manhattan district attorney. If he were to win the general election in November, he'd become the first Black person to hold the title.

NEW YORK — Former federal prosecutor Alvin Bragg opened up a lead in the Democratic primary for Manhattan district attorney, besting a field of seven other candidates vying to become the likely successor to outgoing DA Cy Vance.

In an election-night speech, he stopped short of declaring victory but said he was confident in his lead. "We're going to do things a little different in Manhattan," Bragg said. The primary for district attorney, because it is a state office, did not use the ranked-choice voting system employed in primaries for mayor and other city offices. It also was not governed by the city’s stricter campaign finance laws.
