Boston Mayor Michelle Wu easily topped the ticket in Tuesday’s preliminary, and will move onto the November general election, when she will face longtime philanthropist Josh Kraft, who was trailing her by roughly 40 points soon after polls closed.

Wu, the popular first-term progressive mayor, was so far ahead of her three challengers that the race was called for her by the Associated Press before 8:30 p.m. Polls closed at 8 p.m.

Early results were in line with an Emerson College poll released last week that showed Kraft was behind Wu by 50 points, with just days to go before the preliminary election.

As of 8:30 p.m. Wu had roughly 68 percent of the vote. Kraft, a son of the billionaire New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, had roughly 28% of the vote. The Associated Press called the second-place for Kraft before 9 p.m. He and Wu will face off in November.

The other two candidates, Robert Cappucci, a retired Boston Police officer, and community activist Domingos DaRosa, each had managed to secure less than 4% of the vote.

Wu and Kraft had yet to make it to their election night parties, an outdoor rally for Wu in Roslindale and an event at the Ironworkers Local 7 Hall for Kraft in South Boston, by the time the race was called.
