Dem candidate clears crowded field to face Trump-backed incumbent in NY

Cait Conley won the Democratic primary in New York's 17th Congressional District and will face Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in a November race. The district is a competitive battleground where the outcome could influence control of the U.S. House. Lawler, a Trump ally, previously criticized Conley for her role in the Afghanistan withdrawal during her time on Biden's National Security Council.
