Mamdani emerges as kingmaker, and other takeaways from Tuesday’s primaries - The Washington Post
Overview
Democratic socialist candidates swept several key New York primary races Tuesday, boosting Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s influence and casting him as a new kingmaker in local and congressional contests. At the same time, more establishment center-left and moderate candidates prevailed in other races, producing mixed outcomes for the party’s factions. The results echo earlier live reporting and prediction-market expectations and deepen the debate over electability and the Democratic Party’s direction.
