Mamdani-backed Democratic Socialists win three New York House primaries
Three candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America won New York House primaries, unseating two incumbents. The result deepens the Democratic Party's leftward shift a year after DSA-backed Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race.
Three candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) won Democratic House primaries in New York, while two incumbents lost their seats. According to CNBC, the winners included Lander, Valdez and Chevalier.
The results point to an accelerating leftward shift within the party's base. A year ago, the victory of DSA-backed Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race was seen as a turning point for younger, progressive candidates.
Analysts say the wins could reshape the balance of power inside the Democratic Party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The defeat of sitting incumbents has revived tensions between the party leadership and its grassroots.
