Brad Lander Informed Live On Air He Clobbered Dan Goldman
Key Points:
- Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) lost the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th congressional district to challenger Brad Lander, a former city comptroller supported by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
- Goldman faced backlash over his support of Israel, including a public ban from a NYC coffee shop labeling him a “genocide enabler” due to his stance on Israel’s strikes in Gaza.
- Lander’s victory is seen as a potential indicator of the Democratic Party’s future direction and a test of Mamdani’s political influence, as Mamdani backed multiple candidates in the primaries.
- Lander secured over 60% of the vote and expressed commitment to fighting for working people and affordable living in New York City.
- The race was called live on CNN by Kaitlan Collins, who informed Lander of his projected win during the broadcast.
