Jack Schlossberg lost the Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat to state Assembly Member Micah Lasher. The crowded race drew attention for its candidates’ political connections and a high-spending contest over artificial-intelligence regulation.
Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, lost Tuesday’s primary to Lasher. Lasher is positioned for the November general election in a district where Democrats make up two-thirds of registered voters; longtime Rep. Jerry Nadler is retiring. Schlossberg had urged Democrats to put forward candidates who would speak plainly about living costs, corruption and the Constitution.
The race also drew substantial spending from technology and artificial-intelligence interests over candidate Alex Bores, an Assembly member whose legislation had drawn opposition from parts of the industry. Bores said in his concession speech that powerful industry figures had tried to make an example of the race and that his campaign did not back down. Nadler endorsed Lasher, while former Rep. Carolyn Maloney endorsed Bores.

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.
