Primary night in New York marked the first major test for Mayor Zohran Mamdani's political movement, and it was widely successful.
All three of Mamdani's endorsed candidates for Congress were victorious, marking a massive win for the left and a major blow for establishment Democrats.
Mamdani endorsed in three competitive House primary matchups in New York City, breaking with Democratic leaders by throwing support behind leftist candidates who were unafraid to criticize Israel and push for ambitious economic policies.
The biggest upset of the night came in New York's 13th district, where Mamdani-backed candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old community organizer and democratic socialist, narrowly defeated five-term incumbent Democrat Adriano Espaillat, 71, to represent Upper Manhattan and part of the Bronx. That's according to a race call by The Associated Press.

All those rumors about Mamdani being from Uganda aren’t true. He was born in a cabin in Minnesota, and we have the fake birth certificate to prove it. /s
I’m in spokane, wa and don’t find it horrible at all. I don’t go downtown bt myself, but that’s because my vision sux so much, I can’t drive.
OTOH, My daughter moved here a couple of years ago after her wonderful hsband died. bought a nice hose, in my zip code. Her best friend since high school lives here too. we all live in good neighborhoods. Usual city krep: ghastly property taxes, ;downtown not what it used to be though the great areas are still great.
daughter just ound a nice house she wants to buy back in Idaho with plenty of land for her four dogs. about an hour away. big sigh.
quite a list.
actually, I think portland was a horrible mess decades ago. I’d drive 100 miles out of the way to avoid it.
👍
Mamdani won because of the illegal votes. Same with his Communist picks ,no doubt.
