The controversial former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) has lost his second attempt at a political comeback, losing the Democratic nomination for a seat on the New York City Council, Decision Desk HQ projects.
He was defeated by state Assembly member Harvey Epstein.
Weiner and Epstein were part of a five-person race for the Democratic nomination for District 2, part of Manhattan. Weiner’s loss doesn’t come as a surprise given the controversies surrounding him for the past 15 years.
He received about 10 percent of the votes, coming in fourth place, according to DDHQ.
Weiner had represented New York’s 9th Congressional District in the House for years when he was revealed to have sent sexually explicit photos of himself to multiple women while married. He resigned from office.
