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.

22 OUTLETSMicah 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.
