Bill de Blasio edged closer to his victory in the hotly contested Democratic primary for New York City mayor on Tuesday. The Public Advocate had secured 40 percent of the vote with 96 percent of the precincts reporting the results. His nearest competitor was former New York City Comptroller Bill Thompson with 26 percent votes. Despite the wide margin between his and Blasio’s votes, Thompson still sounded optimistic and told cheering supporters that thousands of votes were yet to be counted and they could still pull a victory.
