Is Mamdani Taking Over the Country?

After three hard-left candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defeated more establishment-friendly candidates in House Democrat primaries, congressional Democrats are debating whether the results mean the mayor is taking hold of the national party.

“Obviously this is a New York story more than anything else,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said Wednesday. “But… the voters are clearly telling us they want us to be bolder. Bolder in the policies we’re proposing and bolder in the tactics we use to fight authoritarianism.”

On Tuesday, two Mamdani-backed primary challengers unseated incumbents backed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

“The kind of people that they’re trying to run out of office, I mean, they’re just good traditional kinds of Democrats,” Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said on Fox News as the results came in.

“It’s just become the dancing days of the dirtbag Left… Some of these candidates are outrageous. You have candidates [who want to] abolish ICE, abolish the police, abolish the border.” 

In New York’s 13th Congressional District, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), narrowly defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat, the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Chevalier, 32, had accused Espaillat of being ineffective in his tactics opposing President Donald Trump’s deportation policies, and of being excessively pro-Israel. 

Throughout the campaign, she was questioned on social media posts that appeared to support the abolition of prisons and police, as well as the seizure of the means of production. She dismissed them as being from a previous stage in her life.

“I’m not sure about the context of those tweets or where they are coming from,” she told one reporter when asked about posts in which she said the United States was a “disgrace” and had bullied Russia.
