DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA

AS ALWAYS, please do your due diligence. Social media is notorious for......errors.....

June 23, 2026 is shown for the primary: The Democratic primary in New York, including Westchester’s NY‑17 race to choose a challenger to Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, is officially scheduled for June 23, 2026.

Early voting: June 13–21, 2026 in Westchester County.

Considerable discussion as to why the Westchester County Democratic Executive Committee declined to endorse a candidate, and some of the arguments seem bot-driven and anonymous. Again do your own due diligence.

The case stems from an early morning police encounter in Washington, D.C., in which a Metropolitan Police officer responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle and saw two people immediately flee from a car. The officer ordered the driver, identified only as R. W., to put his hands up, and the officer drew his service weapon.
