## Resource

New York’s progressive wave surged in the congressional primaries as Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s slate unseated two Democratic incumbents, sending a bold message to the party establishment. Backed by democratic socialists, the winners vowed to abolish ICE, call the Gaza war genocide, and tax the wealthy—challenging moderate Democrats worried about alienating swing voters. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ opposition backfired as his preferred candidates lost, paving the way for three new progressive voices in Congress. Meanwhile, JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg fell short, while a Trump-backed Republican won upstate, revealing a fractured political landscape ahead of midterms.
