Mamdani-backed candidates score clean sweep

New York’s Democratic primaries delivered a major victory for Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s political allies, as all three candidates he endorsed won their races. In the 10th Congressional District, progressive candidate Brad Lander defeated incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman, highlighting ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party over issues including the Israel-Gaza conflict. In Brooklyn’s 7th District, Assemblywoman Claire Valdez unseated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, securing another win for the party’s progressive wing. Meanwhile, in the 13th Congressional District, Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, in one of the night’s biggest upsets.

The results are being viewed as a significant boost for Mamdani’s growing influence within New York politics and among left-leaning Democrats. Supporters see the victories as a sign that voters are embracing a more progressive agenda, while party moderates remain concerned about how such candidates may perform in future general elections.
