DSA-backed slate claims NYC House seats, signaling a leftward shift
TL;DR Summary
New York City Democrats led by Mayor Mamdani swept key House primaries with a Democratic-Socialist slate, unseating Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the 13th, defeating Rep. Dan Goldman in the 10th, and helping Claire Valdez win the 7th to replace Rep. Velázquez. Lander, a Mamdani ally, also won in a race spotlighting Israel/Gaza policy; Cait Conley won a Hudson Valley primary against Rep. Lawler. The results underscore rising influence of the DSA and foreshadow intra-party tensions ahead of midterms and the 2028 race.
