New Yorkers supported the leftmost candidates at nearly every opportunity on Tuesday
Three candidates endorsed by Zohran Mamdani swept to victory in Democratic congressional primaries on Tuesday, showing that the coalition which powered the New York City mayor to a surprising victory last year is gaining strength. The mayor's candidates ousted two sitting congressmen Tuesday, handing Hakeem Jeffries a stinging rebuke. After progressive candidates swept to victory in New York City on Tuesday night, running on platforms directly opposed to conservative Republicans and Donald Trump, the right reacted with fury.
