All but Lasher were backed by slick DSA kingmaker Mayor Zohran Mamdani. “Congratulations to our newest members of the NYC congressional delegation,” he wrote on X. “From public servants to union organizers to community activists, the path is different but the...

Democratic socialist candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier won a shocking primary victory in New York, but veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is not celebrating. The socialist backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who won Tuesday night’s primary election in New York’s 13th Congressional District, has made a career out of “community organizing,” and has a history of controversies, including having founded a group in college that called for the “total eradication of Western civilization.” NewsNation interviewed Carville on Thursday for his response to multiple far-left candidates winning in New York.

Adriano Espaillat (D-NY). “I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18 but you out of your mind if you think I’m voting for a war criminal,” she wrote in 2020, using a since-deleted X account. “This country is a f—ing disgrace,” she added.
