Central claim attributed to AP, with multiple outlets reporting the win and one providing candidate details. - Craft 59 of 100, higher is better. Most outlets provided digests, limiting depth. One full report offered more detail on the race and candidate background. - Hype 41 of 100, lower is better. Headlines are largely factual, but some use mild sensationalism like 'tightly contested election'. Scored by MediaBias News; method at https://mediabias.news/methodology. **The short version** - Republican Anthony Constantino won the election for New York's 21st Congressional District. - Democrat Blake Gendebien conceded the race to Constantino. - Constantino's victory margin was about 5,700 votes after absentee ballots were counted. - The win came by two percentage points in a district that typically favors Republicans by a larger margin. Republican Anthony Constantino has won the election for New York's 21st Congressional District. His opponent, Democrat Blake Gendebien, conceded the race. Constantino, who founded the business Sticker Mule, secured victory by approximately 5,700 votes as absentee ballots were tallied. The final margin was two percentage points, a narrower lead than is typical for Republicans in this district. ## Disagreement on vote count One report stated that nearly 2,500 votes separated the candidates in a Mississippi Senate race, with votes still being counted. This report also noted an outstanding vote estimate of around 30,000 votes in that separate contest. Other reports focused solely on the New York 21st Congressional District race and did not mention the Mississippi election. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated digests mention the specific vote margin of approximately 5,700 votes. None of the right-rated digests mention that Constantino founded Sticker Mule. None of the right-rated digests mention that Constantino won by two percentage points in a district where Republicans typically have a double-digit lead. ## Who covered it Shares of the 27 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 56% (15) - Centre: 29% (8) - Right: 15% (4) 5 of 32 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Several of these reports noted that Constantino founded the business Sticker Mule. One report mentioned that Constantino won his bid to become Northern New York’s next congressman, but that his Republican party largely failed to win in local, statewide, and national seats on election night. ### Centre - Eight centre-rated reports confirmed Republican Anthony Constantino's victory in New York's 21st Congressional District. These reports indicated that Democrat Blake Gendebien conceded the race. Several noted that Constantino won by two percentage points in a district where Republicans typically hold a double-digit lead. Some of these reports also mentioned that Constantino founded Sticker Mule. One centre-rated report included information about a separate Mississippi Senate race where votes were still being counted. ### Right - Four right-rated reports stated that Republican Anthony Constantino won the election for New York's 21st Congressional District. These reports confirmed that Democrat Blake Gendebien conceded the race. Two of these reports mentioned that Constantino founded Sticker Mule. **Provisional coverage gap:** right.
