Fueled by Mamdani (and no small dosage of leftist political streamer Hasan Piker), two races that many thought gimmes became battlegrounds between progressive Democrats and Democratic socialists, the mayor infuriating the Democratic Latino leaders in those areas in the process.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday night the gamble paid off in a way Ryan Gosling couldn\u2019t have dreamed of: both of Mamdani\u2019s candidates won their primaries, joining a third left-flanking candidate he also aligned with to complete a hat trick. (Democratic primaries in New York City almost always determine the general winner.) The backstory and reverberations will be felt across the country \u00a0\u2014 and yes, may even boost Nithya Raman in her bid to take down her own establishment Democrat in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and in the meantime an anti-AI candidate lost narrowly in Manhattan, a social-media Kennedy lost a lot worse in Manhattan and an upstate Trump-aligned sticker mogul (!) pulled off a stunner of his own. We break down the four most noteworthy New York primary races from a wild Tuesday and what it means for entertainment and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Congressional District 7, aka The First Whopper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A long, long time ago\u00a0\u2014\u00a0or, like, back at Thanksgiving \u2014 Democratic Congressional leader and Latina trailblazer\u00a0Nydia Vel\u00e1zquez announced her retirement after 32 years in Congress. A representative of the hipster-Hasidic-Puerto Rican neighborhood of Williamsburg \u00a0(as well as Greenpoint and Ridgewood, Queens, among others), Velazquez is an icon in New York City politics, having become the first Puerto Rican woman to be elected to\u00a0Congress. (She also is the first person in her family to graduate high school.) Vel\u00e1zquez supported Mamdani during last year\u2019s mayoral race, helping lock down support for him among the city\u2019s large Puerto Rican population.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, when it came time to retire, the seventysomething kingmaker wanted to, Logan Roy-style, anoint her protege Antonio Reynoso \u2014\u00a0 the Brooklyn borough president and a progressive \u2014\u00a0to take over her seat. But Mamdani, feeling his oats and wanting a DSA candidate, went Shiv Roy on Vel\u00e1zquez and instead backed a young pol named Claire Valdez, who had a similar trajectory to his own \u2014\u00a0thirtysomething new-ish State Assembly member who came from elsewhere (Texas), had a bifurcated identity (she\u2019s also a citizen of the\u00a0Ysleta del Sur Pueblo\u00a0Nation) and found activism at an elite college (the\u00a0School of the Art Institute of Chicago).<\/p>\n<p>That made\u00a0Vel\u00e1zquez\u00a0apoplectic \u2014\u00a0and became an instant\u00a0test for Mamdani\u2019s upstart DSA vibe against\u00a0Vel\u00e1zquez\u2019s establishment order. Polls coming into the race had Valdez and Reynoso neck-and-neck. Casey Bloys greenlit two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday Mamdani was vindicated, and Vel\u00e1zquez humbled, in a big way. Valdez won by a definitive 20 points, erasing any doubts that the legacy candidate was donezo or that Mamdani didn\u2019t have the muscle to take on the establishment \u2014 again. One of the great political dramas in recent memory had a definitive series-premiere-level ending.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The topper? One of the more high-profile celebrities living in the Williamsburg-Greenpoint area is Kieran Culkin. Yes, all this drama was to represent Roman Roy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Congressional District 13, aka The Second and Even Bigger Whopper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Backrooms<\/em>\u00a0had less twists than this one.<\/p>\n<p>The political area of Manhattan north of 96th\u00a0Street \u2014\u00a0Harlem et al \u2014\u00a0and spilling into the Bronx has long been a\u2026conventional type of place. You kissed the ring and you paid your fealty. For more than 45 years the area was represented by Charles Rangel, one of the most powerful Congress members of the 20th\u00a0century. The district lines shifted, but Rangel\u2019s power didn\u2019t. Even when he was felled by an ethics scandal in 2010 he held on another three terms. Then the seat was passed to his chosen protege.\u00a0Adriano Espaillat was seeking a sixth term, and until a couple months ago it seemed like a lock. Mamdani himself said he would endorse him.<\/p>\n<p>Then the mayor changed his mind. The reason? A 32-year-old named\u00a0Darializa Avila Chevalier.\u00a0 A child of Dominican immigrants Chevalier had never run for office before; she was an organizer and helped lead the 2024 pro-Palestine encampment protests at Columbia University, which she once attended as a student. She also reportedly attended a controversial pro-Palestine rally in Times Square on October 8, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Chevalier was challenging the first-ever Dominican-American elected to Congress in a district that includes the heavily Dominican-American Washington Heights. But that heritage became fraught: Chevalier\u00a0walked out of\u00a0an interview Tuesday with the radio station La Mega during a heated discussion about why she didn\u2019t include the Dominican\u00a0flag in her social bio (she called Dominican nationalism \u201cviolent\u201d). Whether the attention helped or hurt her as people were heading to the polls is unclear. Certainly she got a boost from other viral media platforms,\u00a0appearing with\u00a0popular-polarizing left-wing livestreamer Hasan Piker and Valdez at a Bushwick club two weeks ago; Piker had come in from LA to stump.\u00a0Another big rally took place last Thursday, as Mamdani and his three chosen candidates (they also include former rival and ex-city comptroller Brad Lander) took the stage at the historic King\u2019s Theater in Brooklyn; Sara Bareilles also performed in a moment that seemed to galvanize the candidacies of all three.<\/p>\n<p>All of it paid off in a big way Tuesday when Chevalier had an AOC-level upset, defeating Espaillat by about three points, or 2,000 votes, with 90% of the total counted. With her near-certain victory in November, Chevalier will instantly become the biggest progressive lightning-rod in Congress, passing Ocasio-Cortez, who had a similar win over the establishment during the midterm of Trump\u2019s first administration eight years ago. (She\u2019s DAC, I suppose, to her AOC.) If you love Hasan Piker and progressive rabble-rousing (or are a conservative who likes dining out on it), she is great news; if you\u2019re a moderate Democrat, less so.<\/p>\n<p>Chevalier and Valdez will join Lander, also a Mamdani-aligned Democrat who beat an incumbent, Dan Goldman, in Congressional District 10 in downtown Manhattan and largely-gentrified Brooklyn. While not officially a member of the DSA, Lander will unite with Valdez in what has been nicknamed \u2014\u00a0affectionately or derisively, depending on who\u2019s saying it \u2014 the Commie Corridor, which stretches from a northwestern part of Brooklyn across that part of the boro into western Queens, where many young progressives live. And they\u2019ll have a third point on the triangle up in northern Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Congressional District 12, aka the Jack Schlossberg (but really the Big Tech) Circus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This district includes pretty much all of Manhattan from 14th\u00a0Street to 96th\u00a0Street \u2014\u00a0Broadway, Madison Square Garden 30 Rock, Lincoln Center and pretty much where every media company is located and ever entertainment decision is made \u2014\u00a0was already an anomaly in that it did not feature any far-left Democrats. It has center-left Democrats and slightly further center-left Democrats. The two boldfaced names it had were Jack Schlossberg and George Conway \u2014 both popular on social media, both tankers in the polls.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2399\">Prime Day Report 2026: Dr. Barbara Sturm, Aesop and Oura Ring Lead Beauty and Wellness Deals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe real race was between\u00a0Alex Bores and Micah Lasher \u2014 respectively, a 35-year-old tech veteran and engineer who has been in the State Assembly, and a 44-year-old political lifer (he worked under Mike Bloomberg and former NY State AG Eric Schneiderman) who has also been in the State Assembly. Lasher had the blessing of retiring Congress member Jerry Nadler from the Upper West Side; Bores had the blessing of longtime Congress member Carolyn Maloney from the Upper East Side. This is\u00a0<em>Ferris Bueller-<\/em>level parental politics.<\/p>\n<p>But the real drama came with AI. Bores sponsored\u00a0New York\u2019s strong-ish AI regulation the RAISE Act (it requires, among other things, that AI companies publish and impose safety plans). And so anti-Bores money came pouring in from Leading the Future, a Big Tech super PAC underwritten by\u00a0OpenAI president Greg\u00a0Brockman,\u00a0Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale\u00a0 and VC Marc Andreesen, funding eye-popping anti-Bores ads that didn\u2019t pass the sniff test. (They seized on his past at Palantir, as if whistleblowers weren\u2019t a thing.) The message was clear: Big Tech did not want Bores in Congress. As Bores said Tuesday, \u201cI didn\u2019t get in this race to make a point about AI but some of the most powerful people on the planet, a handful of oligarchs hellbent on preventing any regulation of this industry\u2026.decided to make an example of this race.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\n\tHe added, in a line sure to resonate with Hollywood guilds and throughout the industry, \u00a0\u201cAmericans everywhere are seeing AI work its way into every aspect of their lives and their economy and they\u2019re looking to see who will stand up for them.\u201d For those in the entertainment biz looking for a friend on Capitol Hill to curb the Stay Puft-appetites of Big Tech, Bores would have been their go-to ghostbuster. <\/p>\n<p>His was a fascinating coalition, uniting moderates who liked his foreign policy and progressives who liked his anti-AI stance. (\u201cYou could make a sitcom,\u201d gun-control advocate and former rival Cameron Kasky\u00a0tartly said.) Plenty of film-and-television names live from 14th\u00a0Street-96th Street, and at least one \u2014\u00a0<em>La La Land<\/em>\u00a0composer Benj Pasek \u2014 endorsed him. Oddly, so did a more safety-centric Anthropic, countering OpenAI\u2019s attack ads.<\/p>\n<p>But come Tuesday night, Lasher wound up defeating Bores by four points, or 4,000 votes, with 90% of the tally counted.\u00a0 (Schlossberg fared\u2026.worse, garnering just 11,000 total votes, 25,000 behind Bores. <\/p>\n<p>Bores sought to sound a hopeful note on AI regulation in his concession speech. And he may well be right; this isn\u2019t the end. \u201cFuture victories will be built on the progress of this campaign; that\u2019s how movements work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lasher is likely to be a little more centrist on a number of issues. As for AI, he was keen to remind Big Tech that, while he wasn\u2019t Bores, he also wasn\u2019t their pawn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have some news for the two big AI companies that took such an unusual interest in this race,\u201d \u00a0Lasher said in his victory speech. \u201cI won\u2019t be taking cues from either of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Congressional District 21, aka The Bizarro World<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe need to close with this bit of zaniness. Remember Mike Lindell, the Pillow Guy? Welcome to the reboot: Anthony Constantino, the Sticker Guy.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLest you think New York City has all the nutty storylines, let us introduce you to the way upstate (and way out there) drama of the 21st CD, which runs from mid-upstate all the way through Plattsburgh to the Canadian border (and all the way west to Vermont). Adirondacks territory. This is where Elise Stefanik comes from, and these are the people vying to replace her in the Republican primary.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2380\">UFC Fighter Josh Hokit Says Calling Michelle Obama a \u201cMan\u201d Was Meant to Be a \u201cCompliment\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tPeople, bucking creatures, who can say. This race between Constantino, an upstart if ever there was one, and Robert Smullen, an Assembly member who had pretty much the whole Republican establishment behind him, is the stuff of Alexander Payne\u2019s <em>Election<\/em> reboot. Constantino is an ex-boxer and Smullen is an ex-Marine colonel, and they each just brutalized each other in the run-up. Constantino called Smullen evil in a text; Smullen called Constantino a Democrat. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhat was crazy is how the latter even got into the race. <\/p>\n<p>\n\tConstantino was nobody politically; he ran a sticker company called Sticker Mule (tagline: \u201ccustom printing that kicks ass\u201d). But in 2024 he posted a a 100-foot red lighted \u201cVote for Trump\u201d sign over his office you could see from the highway. The city of Amsterdam, NY, hadn\u2019t approved it and thought it could cause drivers to crash; Constantino responded it was free speech and that \u201cI spent my day, to my surprise, talking to friends and family and UFC superstars asking what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSomehow Trump took notice (I mean how could you miss it), <em>endorsed<\/em> Constantino, and as of Tuesday night, the Sticker Guy is the Republican nominee for Congress, having beaten Smullen by 20 points. (There were 216 write-ins; I don\u2019t even want to know.) Anyway, he\u2019ll now advance to face a Democrat unknown named Blake Gendebien (tagline: \u201cJoin us to send a dairy farmer to Congress.\u201d) This is going to make a helluva satire one day \u2014 or just a great documentary in real time. Wonder if Stefanik is reconsidering that resignation right about now.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Democrats back downstate, of course the question will now be whether this is a more permanent state of affairs in the Democratic Party or will mimic the progressive uprising of the first Trump administration, when a number of left-wing Congressional candidates swept into power but some, like Jamal Bowman and Cori Bush, were swept out when Trump was no longer in office. Is this DSA emergence in New York a Trump-enabled movement, to be gone when he is? Or a fundamental change, propelled and embodied by Mamdani, that we\u2019ve only begun to fathom? That part of the script, at least, is not yet written.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2378\">Karlovy Vary to Fete Double Anniversary With Biggest Czech Drone Show Ever and NobodyListen<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York mayor Zohran Mamdani took a big risk supporting DSA candidates versus Democratic incumbents six months into his term.
