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.
- On Tuesday, former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander defeated two-term incumbent Representative Dan Goldman in the Democratic primary for New York's 10th Congressional District, securing 65.8% of the vote.

- Lander is the heavy favorite for November's general election in the solidly Democratic district, though House Democrats may face ongoing friction as insurgent wins reshape party dynamics.
