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.

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.
