Brad Lander is projected to win the primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District, defeating incumbent Dan Goldman.
With 42% of the votes in, Lander is ahead with 63%, compared to Goldman’s 37%.
The Associated Press declares Lander the winner of the Democratic primary.
The primary victor is the presumed winner of the general election in the Democratic district.
Lander and Goldman are both Jewish and Israel was a major issue in the race.
Lander ran to Goldman’s left, allying with the city’s anti-Zionist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, accusing Israel of genocide, and attacking pro-Israel lobbying, while acknowledging that the attack line played into antisemitic tropes.
Lander’s win bolsters the far left, anti-Israel political movement in the city, home to the world’s largest Diaspora population.
