New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is riding the wave of his candidates challenging mainstream Democrats from the left, as all three of his congressional primary endorsements came up big.
Brad Lander was quickly projected as the winner against incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman in the state's 10th Congressional District Democratic primary race. State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez was the primary winner in New York's 7th Congressional District Democratic primary against Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and Queens Councilwoman Julie Won.
And, a third Mamdani-backed candidate, Darializa Avila Chevalier, also won, defeating five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat for New York's 13th Congressional District, which makes up parts of Harlem, Washington Heights and The Bronx.
Mamdani's slate – a trio who favor abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and label Israel's actions in Gaza a genocide – has shown how the mayor's influence could impact the national political scene.
