NEW YORK (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo emerged victorious but bruised from Tuesday’s Democratic primary, stung by a surprising 35 percent showing from a little-known law professor who galvanized liberal dissatisfaction with the governor’s centrist, business-friendly policies.

With the backing of heavyweights including Hillary Clinton and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Cuomo largely ignored the challenge from Fordham University professor Zephyr Teachout, never uttering her name, snubbing invitations to debate and turning away when she approached him at a recent parade.
