Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg in a crowded Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. The race drew attention for Schlossberg’s family background and for a costly fight over artificial intelligence interests.
New York state Assembly Member Micah Lasher defeated Jack Schlossberg in the Democratic primary for an open Manhattan congressional seat. Lasher said in his victory speech that he wanted to bring “bold new ideas” to Washington, while Schlossberg had argued that Democrats needed more responsive candidates.
The campaign also became a proxy fight among AI interests. Some technology companies opposed Alex Bores, whose legislation drew industry opposition, while other companies tried to help him. Bores said in his concession speech that powerful industry figures had made the race an “unprecedented fight.”
