Cuomo-Hochul Beat Teachout-Wu in Primary

NEW YORK—Andrew Cuomo got the running mate he prefers, as Kathy Hochul beat Tim Wu in a heated primary contest for Democratic lieutenant governor that saw the powers of the establishment triumph over that of grass-roots politics. Cuomo also won handily, beating Zephyr Teachout for the nomination for governor.
