Three candidates endorsed by Zohran Mamdani achieved victories in Democratic congressional primaries held on Tuesday in New York. These wins suggest the coalition that supported Mamdani's mayoral campaign last year is growing in influence. The primaries saw established political figures defeated, reflecting internal party disagreements on issues such as ideology, Israel, and immigration. Specifically, former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander defeated Congressman Dan Goldman in the 10th Congressional District. State lawmaker Claire Valdez secured a win in the 7th district, and community organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated incumbent Adriano Espaillat in the 13th Congressional District.
