New York City–backed candidates, including Darializa Avila Chevalier, won key Democratic primaries, signaling a shift toward Palestinian-rights advocacy within the Democratic base and potentially shaping future US policy as more progressive candidates prepare to enter Congress, despite continued pro-Israel donor activity.
New York City’s Democratic Socialist movement, led by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, scored major wins in Tuesday’s congressional primaries with Brad Lander defeating Dan Goldman in NY-10, Claire Valdez beating Brooklyn’s Antonio Reynoso in NY-7, and Darializa Avila Chevalier defeating Adriano Espaillat, signaling a durable shift for the left within the Democratic Party amid debates over Israel’s war in Gaza and rising campaign spending by outside groups.
Prediction-market traders on Kalshi assign roughly 54% odds that Mamdani-backed Brad Lander (NY-10) and Claire Valdez (NY-7) win, with Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13) as the underdog; a 28% chance all three win and 20% only Lander wins, while in NY-12 Kalshi favors Micah Lasher (74%) amid AI-regulation ad battles around Alex Bores; outcomes are verified by the NY State Board of Elections.
