Mamdani’s Progressive Power Play

New York’s congressional primaries are heating up as Mayor Zohran Mamdani amps up his progressive push, backing three key candidates while rallying Bernie Sanders to the cause. In one district, JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg is battling entrenched opponents like Alex Bores and Micah Lasher, while Mamdani stays out of that race. But in three others, Mamdani’s influence is massive: he’s energizing Darializa Avila Chevalier to challenge Rep. Adriano Espaillat, backing Brad Lander’s bid to unseat Dan Goldman, and supporting Claire Valdez to replace Nydia Velazquez — all while signaling a bold new direction for the Democratic Party in New York.
