Micah Lasher Wins New York 12th District Democratic Primary

Micah Lasher won the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District; the crowded contest also featured Alex Bores and Jack Schlossberg. Left-leaning outlets present the result as a setback for opponents of stricter AI regulation. Center outlets largely describe a crowded, costly primary, highlighting Schlossberg’s Kennedy profile and the fight over AI spending and regulation. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Lasher’s win, prominent rivals and campaign dynamics, though one article uses derisive language about losing candidates.
