Pro-Palestinian activist Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated five-term Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th District primary, aided by Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America–aligned slate. The win underscores the DSA’s growing influence in NYC politics and signals a leftward shift in Democratic primaries, as Avila Chevalier’s past social media posts and criticism of AIPAC donations drew scrutiny.
A Manhattan left-wing club, the Broadway Democrats, endorsed Rep. Adriano Espaillat over Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York’s 13th Congressional District primary, citing Chevalier’s refusal to condemn Hamas and the Oct. 7 attacks. Chevalier had the backing of Mamdani earlier in the cycle and counted groups like the DSA, Sunrise Movement, Track AIPAC, CAIR Action, and Jewish Voice for Peace Action among her supporters. The June 23 primary will determine the Democratic nominee for the district that includes Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx.
