Liel Leibovitz argues that recent New York Democratic primary victories by socialist candidates reflect anti-American politics, while noting that turnout was low in Darializa Avila Chevalier’s victory over Adriano Espaillat. He urges Republicans to organize voters opposed to the candidates’ agenda.
Leibovitz says roughly 8% of residents in New York’s 13th Congressional District voted in the primary, giving Chevalier a victory over incumbent Adriano Espaillat. He argues that the result does not show that most New Yorkers support the winning candidates, and criticizes Chevalier for a reported remark about wiping her hand on an American flag.
The author also criticizes Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s remarks about pro-Israel advocates and his support for congressional candidates, and describes the primary outcomes as evidence of a Democratic strategy he characterizes as hostile to America. He argues that Republicans could benefit by organizing a coalition of voters opposed to those candidates and policies.

23 OUTLETSOutlets agree Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated Rep. Adriano Espaillat in New York’s Democratic congressional primary after receiving Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s support. Left-leaning outlets cast the results as a progressive movement’s gain and, in some coverage, a rebuke to pro-Israel politics. Center outlets often treat them as a measure of Mamdani’s influence, though some stress implications for the party or pro-Israel Democrats. Right-leaning outlets foreground the winners’ socialist identity, Chevalier’s past statements, and risks to Democratic leadership.
