Mamdani-backed Lander ousts Goldman in New York House primary

Lander, backed by Zohran Mamdani and other progressives, won with more than 60% of the vote, tightening the party’s divide over Israel and immigration.

  • Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander defeated Rep. Dan Goldman in the Democratic primary for New York's 10th Congressional District, backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other progressives.
  • Lander positioned himself as a liberal Zionist critical of Israeli policies and opposed U.S. aid to Israel amid the Gaza conflict, contrasting with Goldman’s stance.
  • Mamdani-Backed progressives, including Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, won primaries for other House seats, signaling a growing left-wing influence in New York’s Democratic politics.
  • Despite progressive successes in New York, overall Democratic primary results nationally showed no significant shift towards socialism, with several incumbents retaining their seats.
