HeadlineAug 05, 2020

In New York, Congressmember Carolyn Maloney and New York City Councilmember Ritchie Torres have been declared the winners in their congressional races after six weeks of counting ballots.

Meanwhile, in Arizona, the race for Maricopa County sheriff is too close to call. Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio is trying to win back his old position. In 2017, Trump pardoned Arpaio, who is now 88 years old, for defying a court order to stop his deputies from racial profiling.
