Far-left surge: Mamdani-backed candidates oust Dem establishment incumbents

New York City's socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani did it again. One year after sending political shock waves across the country with his New York City Democratic primary victory on his way to winning election as mayor of the nation's most populous city, Mamdani tested the limits of his political powers. And he easily passed the test, upending the Democratic Party establishment as a trio of Mamdani-endorsed far-left congressional candidates won their primaries over more moderate incumbents and rivals.
