Anthony Constantino won New York state’s 21st congressional district by two points over Democrat Blake Gendebien, according to Agence France-Presse. The Republican, who is entering politics for the first time, had claimed victory on Tuesday evening before it was officially confirmed by US media on Friday.
Constantino also called for the release of rapper and producer Sean Combs, known as P. Diddy, who was sentenced last year to more than four years in prison for crimes linked to prostitution in a sexual violence case involving former partners. In 2024, he had also installed a “Vote for Trump” light-up sign on the roof of the sticker company he runs and released the album “Thank You President Trump” in 2026, inspired by the US president Donald Trump’s phrases and tastes.
Constantino’s election comes after Democrats took control of both chambers of the US Congress in the 3 November midterm elections, a development reported in Democrats take both chambers of US Congress.
