Alvin Bragg, a Harlem native and former federal prosecutor, is set to win the Democratic primary for Manhattan District Attorney after his final opponent, Tali Farhadian Weinstein, conceded the race on Friday.
Bragg, 47, would be the first Black district attorney for Manhattan. Though official results were not available on Friday, Bragg and Farhadian Weinstein were far ahead of the rest of field, and the other Democratic candidates have already conceded the race. Bragg will face off against Republican Thomas Kenniff in November but is almost certain to prevail in deep-blue Manhattan.
