Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg in a crowded Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. Alexander Bores also conceded after a campaign shaped in part by competing interests in artificial-intelligence regulation.
Micah Lasher, a New York state Assembly member and former aide to Rep. Jerry Nadler, defeated Jack Schlossberg in the Democratic primary. In his victory speech, Lasher said he wanted to “revamp and recharge” the party; Schlossberg told supporters Democrats needed candidates who speak plainly about issues including the cost of living and corruption. The article says Lasher is well positioned for November because Democrats make up two-thirds of the district’s registered voters.
The campaign also became a proxy fight among AI interests. Alex Bores, an Assembly member who wrote legislation opposed by many in the industry, conceded and said powerful figures seeking to prevent regulation had made an example of the race. Rep. Nadler endorsed Lasher, while former Rep. Carolyn Maloney endorsed Bores. Candidate George Conway’s defeat drew a taunting social-media post from President Donald Trump.

Left-leaning outlets frame the result through Schlossberg’s Kennedy background and social-media persona.
