NEW YORK—Three progressive hopefuls, including two Democratic Socialists of America members, racked up wins over establishment politicians in New York City Democratic congressional primaries on June 24, virtually ensuring they’ll join the U.S. House next year from three deep-blue districts. There was another big winner in the Big Apple, too: new New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, also a Democratic Socialist, who endorsed and campaigned for all three. And the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was a big loser. AIPAC, which genuflects to the right-wing regime of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pumped millions into re-election bids by Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat. Both lost. Former city comptroller Brad Lander trounced Goldman by almost a two-to-one ratio in the lower Manhattan 10th District, which also includes parts of Brooklyn. And first-time candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier upset Espaillat in the West Harlem-Bronx district. Espaillat chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. ]
