Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg in a crowded Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. The race drew national attention and heavy spending, including from competing interests in the artificial intelligence industry.
New York state Assembly Member Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg, a grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, in the Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. Lasher said in his victory speech that he wanted to “revamp and recharge” the party in Washington; Schlossberg had argued that Democrats needed different candidates who spoke plainly about issues including the cost of living and corruption. The article said Democrats make up two-thirds of the district’s registered voters.
The campaign also became an expensive proxy fight among artificial intelligence interests. Some technology companies opposed Alex Bores, a state Assembly member who had written legislation opposed by many in the industry, while other AI interests supported him. Bores said in his concession speech that powerful industry figures had tried to make an example of the race and that his campaign had not backed down. Former Rep. Jerry 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.
