Democratic U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has eased to a third term over a little-known Republican challenger in New York.
The Associated Press called the race for Schumer based on interviews with voters as they left the polls statewide Tuesday.
Schumer defeated Jay Townsend,a political consultant making his first run for public office.
Schumer is the No. 3 Senate Democrat. He was overwhelmingly favored to win. He’s considered a possible successor to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid if the Nevada senator loses his re-election bid.
Schumer was sitting on a political bank account that swelled to $23.2 million by August and had been able to give out millions from his campaign fund to help fellow Democrats in tighter races.
