GOP's Andrew Garbarino keeps retired Rep. Peter King's New York district red

Republican Andrew Garbarino will keep New York’s 2nd Congressional District red — a seat that was formerly occupied by GOP stalwart Rep. Peter King.

Garbarino, a lawyer and small-business owner who also served as an assemblyman in local government, was able to get past Jackie Gordon, a former Babylon, New York, councilwoman and a military veteran, with King’s assistance. The vote was 56.4% to 42.6%, with Green Party candidate Harry Berger also picking up 1%. The Associated Press has not called the race for Garbarino as of Monday morning, even though Gordon has conceded.
