Alvin Bragg Is Re-elected as Manhattan's District Attorney [View all]

Alvin L. Bragg, the incumbent Manhattan district attorney and the first prosecutor to convict a president, won re-election on Tuesday, securing a second term running one of the largest prosecutor’s offices in the nation.

Mr. Bragg faced a Republican and an independent. The other candidates tried to make the campaign a referendum on his record during his first term, arguing to voters that crime had increased and that the office had pulled back on prosecutions under Mr. Bragg’s tenure.

However, Manhattanites gave a landslide victory to Mr. Bragg, who won his re-election bid with The Associated Press calling the election in his favor within an hour of the polls closing. Mr. Bragg was leading with about three-quarters of the vote.

As news of his victory flashed onto the screen at a party at the Harlem Tavern, the crowd erupted into a chorus of cheers and applause.
