- New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s progressive allies achieved significant victories in Tuesday's Democratic congressional primaries, unseating two sitting House members.
- Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist endorsed by Mamdani, defeated five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
- Brad Lander, a progressive closely aligned with Mamdani’s movement, also defeated two-term Congressman Rep. Dan Goldman in another key primary upset.
- These victories represent a substantial political triumph for Mamdani and his growing movement, challenging the Democratic establishment and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
